With the re-opening of the British Embassy in Tehran, the recent nuclear agreement, plus plans to build hundreds of new hotels, Iran’s tourist industry is on the up. Adventurous travellers who want to experience something new can find stunning Islamic architecture, ancient ruins, spectacular landscapes and some of the friendliest people in the world.
