Prepare to have all your pre-conceived notions about Iran completely shattered on an adventure that will take you from the mountains of Alborz to Masal County and onto Shiraz, the heartland of Persian civilisation. You’ll stop at local villages, such as Masal and Masuleh, camp out in a wooded forest by Shah Moalem Mountain and drive along Iran’s most beautiful road, the Khalkhal-Asalem.
For each of this country’s natural splendours, there are just as many manmade feats of wonder to discover – marvel at UNESCO World Heritage-listed Sheikh Safi mausoleum and shrine, Esfahan’s Naqsh-e Jahan Square, and the tombs of poets Hafiz and Saadi, both located in Shiraz. It’s the type of trip that will take you by surprise and have you talking about it for years to come.
The 11-day Iran tour with Get Lost Escapes starts at US$5450.
