raiting 4.8 /5 out of 64 voteIran is one of the most beautiful countries in Asia. Having a history of 2500 years, Iran is filled with historical sites belonging to different eras and ages. When we plan a trip to a completely new culture and country, it might seem an easy job at first, just find the best sights and pack your bag, but it’s not everything, at least not about Iran.
As most of you know Iran is a Muslim country, therefore Muslim travelers might know much about our habits and cultures. But for someone from Europe, America, Africa, or even eastern Asia there is a lot of mysteries and unknowns. It's not a bad thing to travel to a country you don't know anything, on the other hand, it might even make it more fun and interesting. But that's not the whole picture, of course, follow us till the end of this passage to find out more.
The purpose of this article is to explain the most important notes about traveling to Iran.
Visa for Iran is almost available for all countries. If you are going to travel to Iran you should check out the list of countries that can have VOA, meaning Visa on Arrival. The Islamic Republic of Iran has made the process of coming to Iran easier by VOA. So if you are one of those countries that are available for VOA do not hesitate, book your ticket and come to Iran to have the best vacation.
If you are planning a trip to Iran, whether it’s a business trip or just an adventure you should know at least a little of our culture and obligations. For example, the first rule is hijab. Hijab is one of the most important rules that you should be aware of before coming to Iran especially for women. If you are coming to Iran as a traveler, you should know that in here women cover their hair and they are not able to touch the opposite unfamiliar sex. In the Iran Travel guide, the most vital thing you must know is the hijab.
Also, Iranian people have so many other cultures as well. For example, one of our unique and fun cultures is Tarof. Tarof happens when someone out of kindness asks you to be his guest or have dinner with him and insist on it or repeat it a lot of times, but you should know it’s only Tarof and he is not forcing you.
People in Iran are so friendly, they may even ask you to come to their houses and stay during your journey. Also, it is wise not to trust anyone soon but you should know that it's their habits! If you are traveling to Iran in groups you should know that the best way for surfing Iran is to have Iran tour.

Iran has a system of transportation, similar to almost all other countries. Here drivers are a little bit in a hurry so don’t be afraid, you will get used to their driving's after a day or two. You can use Iran trains, buses, and airplanes if you are going to travel from one city to another and you can use a taxi or Tap30 (Iranian version of Uber) if you are going to go somewhere inside a city.
In Iran we have two kinds of taxies, first one is called Darbasti and the second one is the normal taxi. Darbasti is like the ordinary taxies we have all around the world and is more expensive than what is called normal taxi in Iran.in Iran what people call a normal taxi is completely different from the idea you have of taxies.in Iran, normal taxies pick up 4 different people and get them to a fixed destination (like a bus but with only 4 passengers), so if you want to have the normal taxi you had in your own country you should take a Darbasti.
