Planning a trip to Iran
Pulled from the route below — so it says what it does, not what a brochure would.
When to go
Apr–May, Oct–Nov — the months this route recommends.
How long you need
Every route here runs 10 days.
What it costs
≈ AED 400 per person per day. Beds, food, getting around and things to do — costed line by line in each guide, not estimated from a daily rate.
Entry on an Indian passport
e-Visa online before you go, 30 days. Visa-free access for Indian passports was revoked in November 2025. Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with the embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.
Where these routes go: Tehran · Kashan · Isfahan · Yazd · Shiraz · Persepolis.

Iran in 10 days: Persepolis, Isfahan's square and the mudbrick city of Yazd
Tehran → Kashan → Isfahan → Yazd → Shiraz → Persepolis
Twenty-six World Heritage sites, a square second in size only to Tiananmen, and the ceremonial capital Alexander burned — in a country where several governments warn their nationals of arbitrary arrest and where dual nationals face particular danger.
