The ideal time for traveling to Iran is typically from April to May and from September to early November. However, due to Iran’s vastness, it’s possible to travel there at any time of the year. For example, during July and August, the west and northwest regions like Tabriz, Kurdistan, Kermanshah, or Hamedan are preferable due to cooler weather. These areas can be mixed with classic routes for a varied experience. The months of November to February are best for visiting southern Iran, known for its natural beauty and tourist attractions. Destinations like Qeshm, Kish, Chabahar, and Bushehr are considered must-see places during this period.
The official currency of Iran is the Iranian Rial (IRR). However, in everyday transactions, Iranians commonly use the term ‘Toman’, where 1 Toman equals 10 Rials. Prices are typically quoted in Tomans. For ease of communication, the term ‘thousand’ is often omitted. For example, a price quoted as 50 Tomans is generally understood to be 50,000 Tomans, translating to 500,000 Rials. This informal method of pricing is a standard practice in Iran, essential for visitors to understand to avoid confusion in transactions.
In Iran, credit cards and international debit cards such as MasterCard or Visa are not supported. However, it is easy to exchange money at the airport, banks, and exchange offices in the cities, or you can choose to carry your money in cash. For those who find carrying cash difficult or insecure, some companies provide local debit cards.
It’s important to note that some souvenir shops may accept MasterCard, so it could be beneficial to bring your card along when traveling to Iran.
