Iran Tour for UK Citizens: 10 Days Package
Begin a 10-day journey through Iran’s highlights, exclusively for British travelers. Every day, from Tehran’s treasures to the ancient cities of Isfahan, Yazd, and Shiraz, new experiences and insights are unfolded. Explore UNESCO World Heritage sites, traditional villages, and iconic landmarks, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
10 Days
Day 1: Tehran
Meet and greet at Tehran’s International Airport, transfer to your hotel in Tehran, and you will rest and relax at your leisure the following morning. After lunch, we will start a tour of the capital. You are starting with Iran’s national museum, where you will see a sneak peek of everything Iran offers. Tehran’s jewelry museum is another highlight that makes your visit to the capital extra special; the background of National Jewels of Iran dates back to the Safavid era, in which it was decided that national jewels belong to the National Treasury of Government,i.e., apart from the personal properties of the sovereign. The valuable collections of this museum comprise the pink-colored diamond of Darya-ye-Noor (182 Carats), the Peacock Throne or Takhte Tavous, which was built during the reign of Fathali Shah consisting of twelve different pieces (Joined together)and 26,733 pieces of jewels attached to it. We will then get more familiar with Persian Carpets at the Carpet Museum. Overnight Tehran
Day 2: Kashan - Abyaneh
Early morning drive to Abiyaneh via Kashan. The first stop will be the historical city of Kashan and its famous gardens and traditional houses, where you can see exemplary post-Islamic architecture. After world-known Iranian historical cities such as Isfahan and Shiraz, Kashan is a common destination for foreign tourists due to its numerous historical places. It will simply take your breath away. Its charm is thus mainly due to the contrast between the deserts’ parched immensities and the well-tended oasis’s greenery. Archeological discoveries in the Sialk Hillocks, which lie 2.5 miles (4 km) west of Kashan, reveal that this region was one of the primary centers of civilization in the pre-historic ages. Hence Kashan dates back to the Elamite period in Iran. The Sialk ziggurat still stands today in the suburbs of Kashan after 7000 years. The next stop is the UNESCO-registered Abiyaneh Village. Abiyaneh is one of the oldest villages in Iran and offers fantastic views, making it a great place to spend the night in a traditional yet modern hotel. Overnight Abiyaneh village.
Day 3: Isfahan
In the morning, a short drive to Isfahan, we start our full-day tour of Isfahan after checking into your hotel at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Naghsh-e-Jahan Sq., once a royal polo court; this site had the official center of the city when the city was the Safavid Capital (17th Century). We will visit the famous Imam Mosque (Royal Mosque), the square’s southern side with incredible architecture and tile-work. A popular highlight at Imam Square is its beautiful and traditional unique bazaar; we will then visit the multistory Aliqapu Palace, stood on the western side of the square, from which the Safavid kings used to view the polo games and ceremonies. Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque (or Ladies Mosque) is located on the opposite side of the square and is visited next.
Day 4: Isfahan
Today marks the start of another exciting day on our Iran Tour for UK Citizens, with visits to the vibrant bazaars of Isfahan.
Starting another wonderful day in Isfahan, we start in the morning by visiting the Friday Mosque, followed by Chehelsotun (forty columns) palace. We will then see the Vank Cathedral and the city’s Armenian Quarter. We will then head to the banks of the Zayanderud River, the city’s soul. Several historical bridges over this river were erected during the Safavid era (17th Century). Siosepol (33-arch) and Khaju bridges are the most famous ones. We enjoy visiting these two interesting bridges, drinking tea at the tea house below the bridge, walking along the river bank or paddling on a boat from one to the other. Overnight Isfahan.
Day 5: Yazd
Early morning drive to Yazd. En route, the desert city of Naeen has much to offer tourists with its desert culture and beauties, such as an old weaving factory and its Grand Mosque; you’ll then head to Yazd and be transferred to your hotel before lunch. In the afternoon, we will start a tour of the ancient city of Yazd, visiting sites such as Amir Chakhmakh Square and Islamic theatre. Overnight Yazd
Day 6: Yazd - Zien O Din caravanserai
Another half-day tour of Yazd to visit Zoroastrian sites in and around the city, such as the Fire Temple and Towers of Silence. To indulge even deeper in the desert culture, you will spend the night at Zein o Din Caravanserai; owners of this ancient hotel have not changed their management skills for hundreds of years, and your stay will be the same if you stay there a couple of centuries ago—Overnight Zien O Din caravanserai, near Yazd.
On our Iran Tour for UK Citizens, tonight we rest under the starry skies of the Persian desert.
Day 7: Shiraz -Persepolis
Early morning drive to Shiraz. En route, we will have short stops in Abarkooh, where one of the world’s oldest trees is located (3000 years old); a natural Icehouse, locally known as Yakhchal, is our last stop before arriving at Pasargadae. In Persepolis, you will be visiting the most magnificent city of the ancient world, which is now registered as a UNESCO world heritage site. Persepolis was the ceremonial capital of the Persian Empire during the Achemaenian era. The site, 125,000 sq.m. in area, comprises various reception halls and palaces, private palaces, royal treasury and fortifications, where we find the tomb of Cyrus the Great and remains of Achaemenian palaces and edifices. We continue our trip by visiting, Naghsh-e-Rostam, the Achaemenian necropolis (city of the dead), before arriving in Shiraz.

Eram Garden, an old palace now a rose garden, is our last stop before lunch.
