Safety & Scams

Exercise high caution; avoid border areas (especially with Afghanistan and Iraq); western travelers should check current diplomatic relations and travel advisories; dress code (hijab for women) is mandatory; avoid taking photographs of government or military buildings; always carry identification; respect local religious and social norms.

Getting Around

Domestic flights are cheap and connect major cities; VIP buses are the most popular and comfortable way for long-distance travel; shared taxis (Savari) are common for short inter-city routes; the Metro in Tehran and Isfahan is efficient.

Cultural Etiquette

Greetings are polite and formal; 'Taarof' is a complex system of etiquette involving social deference—be aware when people offer things for free (it’s often a courtesy); remove shoes in homes; avoid public displays of affection.

Internet & Connectivity

Internet is filtered; many social media sites (Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.) may require a VPN; check current restrictions as connectivity can be limited during social unrest; high-speed fiber is available in major cities but mobile internet is most common.
