Tehran

Tehran is the capital of Iran and a metropolis with almost 20 million people. Although Tehran’s massive size tends to scare most tourists in Iran, the fact is that its historical center does indeed deserve a visit.

You will spend an afternoon visiting the most famous Tehran attractions such as the Khanat Caravanserai, Tehran Grand Bazar, Golestan Palace (UNESCO site), and the impressive Treasury of National Jewels.

Nushabad

As Iran can’t get more spectacular, you will visit the fantastic underground city of Nushabad. You will explore the 3 stories of rooms, secret chambres, thru an enormous labyrinth network of staircases and canals.

“A 1,500-year-old, 3-story subterranean city where ancient Persians took refuge in times of war.” In Atlas Obscura.

Nushabad Underground City is the known biggest underground city in the world, directly competing with those in Cappadocia Turkey.

Kashan

Kashan is one of those unmissable Iranian destinations that somehow get out of the main tourist route.

Full of interesting features, Kashan’s most famous attractions are its famous noble houses, the Bazaar of Kashan, the amazing Aminoddole caravanserai, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Fin garden (one of the historical Persian gardens of Iran), and the Sultan Amir Ahmad Bathhouse.

Tepe Sialk

You will also have the chance of visiting the large ancient archeological site of great importance – Tepe Sialk.

The site was named “the heart of Iran’s Archaeology”.

Tepe Sialk was excavated for the first time in 1933.

Maranjab Desert

Among the most famous desert in Iran, Maranjab is easily reached from Yazd.

You will sleep in a local desert camp or ancient caravanserai (depending on availability).

Many Iranians come to this part of the Marajnab for adventure activities such as 4X4 desert safaris, spend the night under the starry sky, and small weekend family excursions.

Nushabad

Qom

After Mashhad, the holy city of Qom is the second most religious city in Iran where you will have the opportunity to visit the shrine of Fatimah bint Musa, the sister of Imam Ali ibn Musa Rida.

The incredible architecture of this religious complex is astonishing, helping to understand the Iranian religious doctrine and beliefs.

Qom is the largest center for Shi’a scholarship in the world, and is a significant destination of pilgrimage, with around twenty million pilgrims visiting the city every year.

While on the streets of Qom, taste the traditional confectionery called sohan, which is a tasty and sweet Persian saffron brittle toffee.
