Iran has not been introduced as it is in reality on the international media and many people do not know much about Iran yet. Iran is one of the ancient cradles of civilization in the world and home to one of the oldest and greatest emperorships, the Achaemenids about 2,500 years ago. With 25 Cultural and 2 Natural Heritage Sites, 24 Intangible Cultural Heritage inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and amazing climate diversity and geographic situation, it is a four-season destination for all tastes and travel styles. It means while you can enjoy water activities in one part of Iran, you can go skiing at the same time in another part of the country.
In terms of climate, a considerable part of Iran is desert. However, the existence of numerous mountains and two outstanding mountain ranges, Alborz and Zagros, besides some plains and green forests (HYRCANIAN forests that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site), brings mild weather and somehow cold in some parts of Iran such as north, west, and northwest. It makes Iran a great destination for exciting activities in different seasons of the year, including skiing, mountain climbing, trekking, and hiking. Moreover, 2,700 kilometers of water borders on the north with the Caspian Sea and the south with the Persian Gulf making Iran a destination for relaxation, nature, and water activities.
With an area of more than 1,648,195 square kilometers (the eighteenth largest country in the world), Iran is a diverse country with numerous ethnic and linguistic groups including Turk, Kurd, Lor, Baluch, Qashqai, Mazani, Gilaki, Shahsavan, Lak, and Taleshi, with amazingly various dialects and languages, traditions, religions and beliefs, costumes, lifestyles, etc. which makes Iran an awesome cultural destination for history, anthropology, gastronomy, and culture lovers.
