Has anyone taken a holiday in Iran (Persepolis)?

Question

I am thinking of a trip later in the year to see Isfahan and Persepolis and would be interested to hear of any other Western woman's experience there.

Answer 1

it should be great, and for the answerer that says he was treated as a terrorist, now you know how middle easterns feel and what they go through at airports in western countries

Answer 2

i think u will find it difficult to get a visa being a western woman if ur single. they refused me even tho i was planning on going with my husband who was from dubai to visit his family. that was a few yrs ago and of course it may have changed. if so then good luck it is a lovely place i have heard. dont listen to negatives, if u obey the law u will have no problem.  

Answer 3

No, but I plan to. I'm Pakistani so I'll blend in pretty well anyway!!  

Answer 4

no, but i hear only positives from visiting such a unique and misunderstood country.

Answer 5

Prepare your trip through a traveller's agency & you will see everything & will have the time of your life. All the tourists I met in Iran, just loved it;-)
