Relax in a local teahouse

Get lost in a bazar
Everywhere you will find bazars, an endless maze of alleys full of shops. Carpets, spices, clothes, pottery, food, you name it, anything. Many of them century old bazars, the most beautiful bazars you will find in Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan and Shiraz. Don't worry if you get lost, it's fun and there will always be someone to show you the way out.
Explore the desert
One one the great things to do in Iran is to make a tour in the desert. Iran has two great deserts, the Dasht-e Lut and the Dasht-e Kavir.
Both of them beautiful, from the sanddunes around Mesr to the bizarre rock formations in the Kaluts. You will find remote villages like Nayband and moonlike landscapes. Make a day-tour or cross the desert in a week.
Go hiking in the mountains
Iran is an undiscovered paradise for lovers of hiking in the mountains. With two great mountain ranges, The Alborz mountains in the north and the Zagorz mountains in the south, Iran has endless opportunities for hiking, from easy day hikes to longer trekking. You can even climb some of Iran's highest peaks, including the two highest ones; Mt. Damavand and Mt. Sabalan.
Follow the ancient Kings
Iran has a rich history. The ancient Persian empire goes centuries back. Once one of the greatest nations in the world. Art, architecture and science flourished. Everywhere in Iran you can dive into history, but no better place than ancient Persepolis
