Iran makes a fascinating and unusual destination if you’re looking for the historic, exotic and atmospheric. A country full of colour and charm, it offers travellers an all-inclusive travel experience as you’ll discover when you travel to Iran with Qatar Airways.

Several nations have left their marks on Iran and its culture over the years; the country today exhibits many influences from the Greeks, Arabs, Turks and Mongols.

The country packs a multitude of sites conserved over generations, including Persepolis, one of the best-preserved ancient sites on the planet. The Naqsh-e Jahan Square in Isfahan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site flanked by minarets and turquoise-tiled domes. During your trip here, pay a visit to the Golestan Palace, one of the oldest historic monuments in Iran and explore its gardens, buildings and intricate designs.  

For many visitors to Iran today, exploring traditional places that are still lively and full of colour is one of the main pleasures of coming here. The bustling bazaars and atmospheric little tea houses are as crowded as ever, and the haggling goes on in the same way it did millennia ago.

The vast deserts that make up much of the country are punctuated by arid mountain ranges and oases, forming a timeless and unchanging backdrop to the modern urban landscapes. Plan a skiing holiday in the resorts of Shemshak and Dizin, high up in the Alborz Mountains and just a short drive to the north of Tehran.

Fly to Iran with Qatar Airways and explore a country full of rich culture influenced from the Greeks, Arabs, Turks and Mongols. Whether you are walking through Shiraz’ gardens or enjoying the bustle of Tehran’s busy streets, your trip to Iran with Qatar Airways is sure to leave you with some lasting memories.
