This travel itinerary is proper for Iran first timers who would like to have a cultural-historical exploration alongside a visit to the main highlight of Iran in a short period of time. On this journey you will visit 7 of Iran’s important UNESCO world heritage sites alongside a few highlighted sites which are on the list of UNESCO tentative site (11 attractions). The travel plan designed for this trip is the famous Iran Classic Travel Route which starts from Tehran Capital to the south and ends in Shiraz city. The tour covers roughly 1400 to 1500 kilometers including urban sightseeing. The tour in general takes 9 days, starting from Tehran to the south, visiting Kashan, Esfahan, Najin, Meybod, Yazd, Persepolis and finally Shiraz .

- As the tour has no physical activities, you can travel all year round but the best travel time recommended by us is after April 5th till the end of May and from end of September till the end of November.
- We don’t recommend traveling from 20th of March to 5th of April as it’s the long holiday of Persian New Year in Iran.
- If you can extend your trip to more than 9 days and are interested in the same taste of Iranian culture and history, Please check tour code 192: Iran Classic Route in 12 days or 193: Ancient Persia and Modern Iran in two weeks (14 Days)
