Itinerary Overview
Iran is such a fun destination with a wide variety of different activities and sights to see. Iran’s geographical diversity is a lot more diverse than some would assume, and that’s what makes Iran such a fun destination to adventure.
The most recent time I visited Iran was back in 2017 I stayed with my family in Tehran for about three weeks. There are hostels and hotels in the city but I can’t provide any with experience
Even if it can be so different from my culture, I love the fact of just learning new staff and seeing the world from another point of view.
If you travel with your eyes and heart open, you definitely will love this experience.
Milad Tower Tourism
The Milad Tower is the tallest skyscraper in Iran And is located in Tehran, the capital. The Milad is located on a little hill and creates an extraordinary view of the city. The Miller tower is a multipurpose building and mainly a tourist attraction, once you get inside the building there’s so much to do. There’s food and there’s shopping, and as you go higher and each level, there are more and more things to do. Once you get to one of the higher levels, there are a bunch of super cool activities along with a wonderful view of Tehran. When I went by, zip-lined across one point of the building and ended across on the other side of a hill. This was such a pleasure it was super exciting and a little scary, but I got the best view of the city lit up at night as I zoomed across in-between gaping mountains. As well as zip-lining they’re other fun activities like this such as jumping off high balconies and landing into safety nets, I did this as well, and it’s super fun. If you’re an adrenaline junkie, this place is for you
Ali-Sadr Cave Exploring the places
The Ali-Sadr Cave, originally called Ali Saadr or Ali Sard, is the world's largest water cave which attracts thousands of visitors every year. It is located in Ali Sadr Kabudarahang County about 100 kilometers north of Hamadan. The cave can only be toured by boat as it is occupied by a river. It is the largest river water cave and it is absolutely stunning. Inside is dark and the water is clear and luminescent, there are salt crystals hanging from the ceiling and all around the cave. Going inside and touring by boat is so much fun I remember it being fairy amber-colored along the walls and a little cool. This is such a treasure adventure and super cool to see because it is also a somewhat historical artifact in which people centuries ago use the water from the Cape for civilization. I do believe there’s also writing on the walls of the caves and I think that’s just crazy cool. If you like these kinds of adventures and natural beauties, this is definitely something you should plan!
Q & A
What would you have changed?
If there’s one thing I wish I changed while I was in Iran I would have probably spent more time with the locals and especially the children and teens. At the time I visited I was only 14 but I remember seeing other local town and city children of Iran playing in the streets or getting ice cream or walking around playing soccer and I always had a wish I had went up to them and talk to them. I think it’s important wherever you go to engage with the people of that country it’s nice to know people from different areas of the world and how they live. The people of Iran are also very kind and I’d like to get to know them some more!Anything go wrong during the trip?
One time when I was shopping in the bazaar with my family me and my sister and I were speaking English to each other and were unaware that some of the shop owners could hear us and my mom told us to stop speaking English. This is because sometimes when it is known your foreigner they will try to raise the prices of certain goods. So be sure to keep it on the down low unless you’re fluent or can speak a little Farsi.Restaurant recommendations?
If you’re in Tehran and you want a great cultural immersion and experience while eating delicious food go check out Koohpaye restaurant . Koohpaye restaurant is in the mountain side of iran and it’s super fun eating there , you get to sit and eat Iranian style on very nice comfortable cushions and coming into the restaurant you get a nice view and idea of Iranian fast pace working life. The food is delicious and of course you can have some tea and hookah at the end of your dinner. Another super cool thing to see is watching the waiters run quickly up the steep stairs in the restaurant to deliver you food I think it’s really cool especially when they’re handling a tray of teaTips you would give a friend?
I think this is quite a universal tip but it’s important to probably learn a little Farsi before entering the Farsi speaking country. Lots of locals know English yet on the other hand lots of locals know little to zero English so learning a few basic words to help you get around is probably a smart move.Packing tips?
For packing as I have explained before Iran is a geographical diverse nation with lots of different weather that changes also. So depending on where you’re going and when you’re going you can plan your clothes accordingly. I will say that in the hotter seasons it’s better for women who have to wear a chador (head cover) to wear lighter and thinner cool clothing so that they don’t get really hot. Also it’s a good idea to pack an extra chador (head covering) in case one gets lost or dirtyTransportation Tips?
Depending on where you’re traveling any run some places have multiple different ways of transportation. In Tehran I know there is a metro subway system, a bus route , taxis and I’m pretty sure there is also Uber or some sort of online Uber like app but don’t quote me on that. In Shiraz another city of Iran there’s not a metro system but there are buses and taxis. I am not too sure about everywhere else in Iran I’m sure there is someway getting around maybe if you’re lucky you can ride a camel to get to the pharmacyAny surprises?
There is nothing I was too shocked about but just overall mainly being in a country where the culture is so different from America is just a great experience and keeps you very open mindedBooking details?
Although I stayed in my families homes during my trip to Iran there are places to stay such as hotels in hostels that you can find in Iran Overall I love visiting Iran and each time I go there’s always something new for me to do or try. every time I go to iran I feel a huge loving vibration along with lots of excitement for the views that I get to see
