Travelling to Iran in winter
During the winter in Tehran the mountains in the background show their snowy peaks and it must be taken into account that temperatures at night can be low.
If you're one of those who hate heat, it's your ideal time.
Iran is an enticing destination, particularly in winter, for those wanting to discover its distinctive character and explore its cities without crowds. It also appeals to those seeking an oasis surrounded by desert, with some of the great displays of Islamic architecture no crowd of tourists (local and international) taking pictures.
For photography enthusiasts, winter is the best time to visit Iran, when sunrises and sunsets reveal their full colours.
On our special route to travel to Iran for New Year, we spend New Year’s Eve in Yazd, considered one of the Iranian desert’s most beautiful cities. Yazd lies at 1200 m in the desert and gets its water from a qanats (tunnels excavated to transport water) linking the city to the edge of the nearby mountain Shīr Kūh.
