Travel Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival in Qeshm

Welcome to Qeshm!

Today we fly to Qeshm from Tehran (1072 km, 2 hours). Our flight leaves Tehran at 6 or 8 am depending on the day of the week. Arriving at Qeshm , we’ll get to our hostel to get some rest. The hostel is a very cozy and atmospheric house, run by locals. After settling in the hostel and getting some rest we’ll head to Naz Island. This small Island is located almost 1km away from the coast of Qeshm . When the sea level reduces at the time of low tide; we’re able to walk to Naz Island as the water is only ankle-deep and enjoy the great sensation of walking in the sea. Getting back to Qeshm, we’ll have lunch and head to our next stop, the Valley of Stars. This amazing valley is famous for the unique shape of its rock, believed to be created due to meteorites by locals. We’ll spend a while exploring this amazing geological site and then we’ll get back to the hostel for dinner. You’ll have the rest of the evening to yourself.

Accommodation: Hostel on Qeshm Island

Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner

Day 2 - Sightseeing in Qeshm

Today we continue sightseeing in Qeshm. First we’ll visit the valley of statues. This valley gets its name from the rocks resembling statues. These shapes were created due to erosion.

After witnessing the interesting process of boat building we’ll head to Chahkooh Canyon, one of the most interesting Qeshm attractions. The walls of this fascinating canyon are almost 10 meters long and the erosion caused by water has created different shapes in them. We’ll have lunch (local seafood) after exploring Chahkooh Canyon for a while and then head to our next stop. Namakdan cave is one of the most famous attractions in Qeshm.

Harra sea forest is also the natural habitat of many beautiful bird species such as cranes, pelicans and kingfishers.

This harbor is famous for its narrow alleys and the enchanting scenery of the sunset that can be witnessed from its shore.

IRAN CULTURAL TOUR FAQ

Iran Travel Experts are ready to answer your questions

When is the best time for traveling to Iran?

Generally, April and May are the best months for traveling to Iran. The second high season period for traveling to Iran is from September to mid-November. It’s recommended to book your Iran tour 3 to 6 months in advance if you want to travel to Iran during the high season. This way, you’ll have various choices for hotels and flights and can get an early bird discount. For those interested in Iran trekking tours and mountain climbing in Iran, the best time is during summer. The weather is rather hot at this time of the year (30-35 degrees); however, this won’t be a problem as vehicles and hotels are equipped with air conditioner. You can combine an adventurous Iran trekking tour with an interesting cultural tour.

When is the best time to book an Iran tour?

The high season for visiting Iran depends on the type of Iran tour you choose. The best time for Iran cultural/ historical tours is during April and May. However, from September to mid-November is also a great time for traveling to Iran. On the other hand, if you choose one of the Iran trekking tours, your trip must be in summer. The high season for Iran desert tours is from March to mid-May and in October and December. Furthermore, the skiing season in Iran begins in December and ends in April. You can also combine trekking tours with Iran cultural tour packages during summer. Our experts at Cheetah-Adventures will help you plan an enjoyable Iran trip and choose the best Iran destinations. Note that hotels get fully booked quickly during the high season so it’s best to book your Iran tour 3 to 6 months in advance to have more options and get an early bird discount.

Is Iran Safe? Can I travel to Iran with children?

Yes. Iran is a generally safe country for travelers. In addition, a trip to Iran can be entertaining for all members of the family due to its various attractions and things to do. Read our Iran Safety article for more information.

Is it possible to make changes in Iran tour packages or the travel itinerary?

Yes. Our Iran private tours can be altered based on your preferences. You only need to mention the desired changes in the comment section when booking your Iran tour. Our experts will contact you later and ask for the details. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to change the travel itinerary for Iran group tours except for minor changes.

What type of accommodation will I have during my Iran cultural trip?

Your accommodation will be in the form of bed and breakfast twin or double rooms at 3-star and 4-star hotels during all Iran cultural tours. We’ll inform you of the best options available on your tour date. You’ll have both the option of a traditional boutique hotel and a normal one in some cities that you can choose from.

Which type of accommodation is better for an Iran cultural trip? Hotels, guesthouses or boutique hotels?

Each traveler may prefer one of these types of accommodation according to his/her habits and personality features. However, we recommend boutique hotels (traditional hotel) if they are available so that you’ll be able to experience the atmosphere of a traditional Iranian hotel as well as having access to modern facilities.

How much cash will I need during my Iran cultural tour?

All Iran cultural tour packages offered by Cheetah-Adventures Iranian tour operator include accommodation, entrance fees and transportation. You may need 10 -20 euros daily for food, if your Iran tour package isn’t full-board. The amount of money you’ll need for buying souvenirs depends on your shopping habits.

 Verified Damavand in one breath
Two extremely skillful mountain guiders, which tried to fulfill any request we had. Their routine helped us to accomplish Damavand ascent. Too many small details, which both of them, made great. Once again, thanks a lot! P.S. sandwich at Tochal peak, one of the best I ever tried :)

 Verified Experienced mountain guides in Damavand and also tour guides in Tehran and Isfahan
What an adventure! The goal of our group was to climb Damavand, but what we experienced in Iran cannot be described in words! First, we took the Tochal & Damavand trekking tour package, which is probably the best option for acclimatization and a safe ascent to both peaks. The team from Cheetah Adventures provided us with all the necessary permits, top-quality accommodation and cooked meals in a mountain lodge at 4200 meters above sea level, they made the necessary preparations and climbed with us to the top of Damavand. After descending to Rineh, we bathed in hot thermal springs and experienced the food of rural Iran. After returning to Tehran, we used the time for a short but tourist tour of Iran of extremely quality, getting to know the cultural contents of Tehran and Isfahan through perfect stories from the history of this beautiful country. Cheetah Adventures guides were also there to communicate with the locals, help with money exchange and buy souvenirs. Perfect tour, perfect hosts, thank you for everything and every recommendation!!!

 Verified Experience of a lifetime
Ali, Mehrdad and all team were exceptional, dedicated entirely to the group of people with whom I climbed Tocal and Damavand and visited Tehran and Isfahan, highly responsive and very kind. I didn't feel at all like a client being taken care of strictly professionally, but like an old friend. These types of trips are not easy to organize, but I have absolutely nothing to complain and can only recommend Cheetah Adventures to organize your adventure in Iran. After this experience with Iran and its wonderful and friendly people, I only want to come back again...of course, Ali and Cheetah Adventures team will organize everything again. See you!

Climbing Damavand and visiting Tehran and Isfahan was an amazing experience. Cheetah Adventure makes extremely tough things to looks easy. They skilfully avoided the sulfur fumes during the climb to the summit, making the adventure much more pleasant than expected.

 Verified Absolutely recommend 👌
Just had an amazing adventure with them! I initially came for the hiking and climbing of Damavand, and hiking in the Alborz mountain range was a complete success. Their logistics were flawless, guides incredibly knowledgeable, and the itinerary was a perfect mix of breathtaking views, activities, and comfy accommodations. In addition to the hiking, I experienced an exceptional journey through the history and landmarks of Iran, enriched by their introduction to the phenomenal Iranian cuisine, which is rich in spices and incredibly tasty. Highly recommend for a seamless, thrilling, and luxurious experience. Many thanks to Cheetah Adventures for organizing and successfully executing such an adventure.
