My Story of Travelling to Iran

Exploring Iran was always my dream which came true in 2018. I want to share whole my 14 days Iran trip with you guys. My intention for this article is first to write my travel memories down somewhere as a memory. Secondly, maybe it becomes useful for those who want to travel to Iran, especially for girl travelers, as my travel buddy and I were both girls.

Iran VOA Visa Application

Iran visa online was the most satisfying part of our Iran trip. First of all, it was a quiet, easy, and smooth procedure. Despite all the negative comments we had heard about the Iran visa procedure, our visa confirmation at Imam Khomeini International Airport took less than 15 minutes to issue. Bear in mind that we had applied Iran visa authorization code in advance; that probably helped us have a hassle-free procedure at the airport immigration office.

Domestic Flight from Tehran to Shiraz

As a travel planner, I am into planning my trip personally instead of booking a tour package all-inclusive. Therefore, I could have a plan for my 14 days, from the first minute to the last. Firstly, we took an Iran domestic flight from Tehran to Shiraz. So, we can start our Iran exploration from bottom to top, meaning start from Shiraz and end in Tehran.

We booked our domestic flight tickets through an online agency with our credit card smoothly and effortlessly. Our tickets were sent to our email instantly, and even more interesting is that the agency customer service contacted us through email before our flight to check if everything was going well with us or not. This amount of support was exceptional.

Iran Hotels Reservation

In total, I booked 13 nights as below. Generally, book Iran hotel in advance, as rooms are mostly in high demand. They will get fully booked a few weeks in advance, so if you are targeting a specific hotel to stay in, I recommend booking one month in advance and do not leave it to the last second.

Three nights: Niayesh Hotel in Shiraz / Two nights: Friendly Hostel in Yazd / Three nights: Khajoo Hotel in Isfahan / Two nights: Noghli House of Kashan / Three nights: Persian Plaza in Tehran.
