How to begin planning a journey in Iran
Start with the pace, interests, and time you have, then let the route follow.
Start with the shape of the visit
The first question is not how many cities to see. It is what kind of days you hope to have: city life, historical places, gardens, craft, desert landscapes, or a balance among them.
Keep the route humane
Transitions take energy. A route that leaves room for arrival and ordinary moments often reveals more than one that tries to cover every name on a map.
