Travel Time

Traveling time to Iran is changeable depending on the aims of travel and destinations. In the winter, all northeaster, northwestern and mountainous regions are cold and snowy while at the same time central, southern and coastal regions of the Persian Golf enjoy a pleasant climate. At the same time swimming in the blue waters of the Persian Gulf and enjoying sunshine is possible in protected areas. In the spring, all around Iran is beautiful and eye-catching. Both nature and climate are enjoyable. There are plenty of clear skies with verdant areas in springs. In the summer, all northern coastal areas, mountainous regions, northeastern and northwestern parts, as well as central regions of Iran experience mild and relatively warm climate, but the southern provinces are very hot. In autumn, the nature has another color and weather is pleasant. Therefore, based on everyone's taste there are suitable locations to be visited along the year. But our suggestion for visiting Iran is Spring and Autumn.

Itinerary

Iran is a vast country with a very different climate in different parts. The high and mountainous regions of the country enjoy cold and snowy winters and mild summers. In the plain and southern coastal areas, it is hot in summers and moderate in winters. So travel scheme is different depending on the location of destination. It is important to be mentioned that there is the month of fasting Ramazan (lunar calendar) that majority of the people observe a fast from early morning i.e 04.00A.M. to evening i.e. 06.00 P.M.. There are also two mourning months of Moharram and Safar with different mourning ceremonies. It is recommended to coordinate your travel plan with your travel agency in this respect.
