About this tour

Imperial Capitals, Desert Landscapes & Living Heritage

Iran unfolds gradually across fourteen days — from royal palaces and desert citadels to poetic gardens and grand Safavid squares. The program connects major historical capitals with lesser-seen desert landscapes, allowing time for architecture, urban life, regional identity, and everyday culture. Domestic flights are used where practical to reduce fatigue and keep the pace comfortable.

The route follows a south-eastern arc before turning west and then north, tracing centuries of Persian history through living cities rather than isolated monuments. Daily sightseeing is structured yet unhurried, finishing before early evening.
