Iran
A Journey to the Frozen-in-Time Past
Iran
Luxury travel to Iran introduces the intrepid traveler to a land of hospitality, sacred history, and to heaping helpings of delicious food. Stunning architecture dots the landscape in the form of soaring minarets and colored tiled domes of the mosques. The glittering ceilings in the centuries-old churches invite travelers and the faithful to admire their unimaginable beauty.
A major route on the Silk Road, Iran has seen many of history’s biggest figures, like Cyrus the Great, pass through this country’s dry deserts and snow-capped mountains. Despite the many invaders and interactions with the outside world, many places in Iran still feel like the past has been frozen in time. Magnificent palaces with glittering gems and tranquil gardens with reflective pools and blooming roses take travelers straight into a page out of One Thousand and One Nights. This is the land of dynasties that united people of many faiths and inspired world-renowned poets like Hafez, whose verses bring Iranians together today.
Persians are welcoming and invite travelers in for a cup of warm tea in the bustling cities’ cafes, or a cooling drink of milk and herbs in desert towns like Yazd. Wander through the labyrinth of bazaars and get lost in the scent of spices and the rich tapestry of vibrant rugs.
