I personally would recommend a tour, to avoid making a cultural mistakes. A couple of times I forgot to put my headscarf on! But if you are a confident traveller already… go for it.

Good luck persuading your husband 🙂 I do think the media has made it sound worse than it is. Funnily enough, the media in Iran was portraying America as the bullies!

Thank you! I felt quite dowdy a lot of the time with all the clothes, haha. Glad you felt more glamorous than me!

Thanks for sharing your trip! Hopefully, the political nonsense clears up soon and everyone can visit the beautiful place. The only things that would make me think twice are the butt grabbing (three times, wow!) and the no alcohol. Like your travel mate. Did he do ok though?

These are some great tips, I didn’t realise petrol was so cheap! That is good to know 🙂 I like the sound of the Overland truck tour! would you recommend using a tour company rather than planning it ourselves?!

I would love to visit Iran but have yet to convince my husband that it would be a good idea. Like yourself, I love to experience places that are so completely different to my own surroundings.

This post is so information and inspiring. I really hope to make it to Iran one day! You looked beautiful in your head scarves. I did that in Morocco once and felt kind of glamorous!
