A visit to Iran? Why would you go to Iran? Isn’t Iran Dangerous? These are just some of the questions I am asked about my trip to Iran back in 2012. I figured it was time to write a post about that trip, and why you should put Iran high on your list of countries to visit. Now is especially a great time to go there. Lets answer one question first;
Is Iran safe to visit?
This is a common question, and if you want the quick answer, then yes Iran is safe to visit, in parts. I say in parts as there are some areas, especially around the Afghanistan and Pakistan border areas, that can be dangerous.
However the vast majority of Iran is perfectly safe, and I have felt very welcomed wherever I went. Considering that my government (U.K.) are one of the leading countries putting sanctions on Iran, I was somewhat cautious when being asked where I was from. I always got the same response: U.K. great country! Welcome to my country!
Of course the situation can change in the future, but as of now it is fine to go to Iran.
Iranians Are Very Hospitable People
