Useful Tips

If you have more time, we recommend visiting the beautiful town of Shiraz and its numerous historical sites such as the Eram Garden and Shah Cheragh Mausoleum. If you have less time, you can shorten the itinerary by skipping Pasargadae and adding an extra day to Tehran or Isfahan. Don't forget to pack sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes, and appropriate clothing for visiting mosques and palaces.
