THE COUNTRY

Iran, a land of ancient splendour and timeless mystique, beckons the intrepid traveller with its tapestry of contrasts. Here, the golden sands of the desert embrace the snow-capped peaks of the Alborz Mountains, while the echoes of Persian poetry linger in the air of the bustling bazaars. The cities of Tehran, Shiraz and Isfahan are living museums where the grandeur of Safavid architecture meets the vibrant pulse of modern life.

Wander through the palaces of kings, where stories of love and conquest are etched in intricate mosaics. The warmth of Iranian hospitality, wrapped in the scent of saffron and rosewater, invites you to discover a culture that treasures both its rich past and its hopeful future. Iran is not just a destination, but a journey into the heart of a civilisation whose wisdom, beauty and resilience have shaped the history of the world.
