Hamid Khalij

CEO & Founder

Our co-founder, Hamid was born and grew up in Germany. When he returned to live in Iran with his parents as a teenager, he decided to take up a part time job as a tour guide, initially to keep up his fluency in German. However, he soon realized that he had found his true purpose and passion in life and has never looked back since. Completing his education all the while working nonstop in tourism during the season, Hamid gained invaluable experience in the industry at a very young age. Having spent most of his life at that point in Germany, he was ideally placed to showcase the wonders of Iran to travelers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland at first. He is passionate about travel, food and culture and regularly travels around the world as a tourist, something he believes is very important in his role as founder and manager of a tourism business.  With more than seventeen years’ experience leading and organizing tours across Iran as well as working as an expert in German department in a well-known travel agency besides the participating in many tourism exhibitions such as ITB Berlin, Fespo Zurich, Ferien Wien and etc., Hamid is even more passionate today about sharing the magnificence of Iran with as many people as possible.
