Tailor your own Iran adventure tour

This pre-made Iran vacation by 1stQuest includes the cities of a classic tour, so Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, Yazd and Kashan.

In Tehran, the capital, they suggest two nights so that you have enough time to visit iconic landmarks such as the Golestan Palace, the National Museum, Sa’ad Abad royal residence, the Azadi Tower and the Grand Bazaar.

In Isfahan too you have two nights. Perfect time to visit some of the most important attractions such as the stunning Naqsh-e Jahan Square with its Grand Mosque and Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, Ali Qapu Palace, Hasht Behesht Palace, and the Armenian quarter of New Jolfa.

Two nights suggested also for the romantic Shiraz. It couldn’t be less than that since apart from Shiraz landmarks such as the tombs of Hafez and Saadi, Vakil Bazaar, and Eram and Narenjestan Gardens, it’s from here that you visit Pasargadae, Persepolis and Naqsh-e Rostam.

For Kashan and Yazd, the original itinerary of this tour in Iran proposes one night. While they can be enough to visit the very main attractions, if you want to delve deeper in the city, especially the Zoroastrian Yazd, you might need at least two nights. In Yazd, make sure you don’t miss its Fire Temple, Towers of Silence, Grand Mosque, the main bazaar, Dolat Abad Garden for Iran’s tallest wind catcher, and wandering around the old town.

In Kashan don’t miss the Grand Bazaar, Fin Royal Garden and historical residences like Tabatabaei and Abbasian traditional houses.
