Journey To Persia: Iran Discovery Holiday

For expert advice or to book call: 0845 863 9600

Beautiful cities, ancient sites, mountains, desert oases and stunning gardens

Iran is a country of dramatic contrasts. Its scenery ranges from snow-clad mountains to vast, inhospitable deserts punctuated by attractive oasis towns, and its cities and ancient sites reveal a deep and rich history.

Some of the most exquisite examples of Middle Eastern design and architecture are to be found in Iran, including the magnificent ruins of Persepolis, the dazzling Islamic centres at Isfahan and Shiraz, and beautifully-crafted gardens set in desert wastes.

The rich bazaars and the ancient tradition of hospitality never fail to impress in a country which sees few tourists.
