The best time to visit Iran is normally from April to May and from September to early November. However, Iran, as a vast country is a destination for all four seasons. For instance, in July and August, the west and northwest of Iran are the best choice due to cooler weather, mixed with classic route, such as Tabriz, Kurdistan, Kermanshah, and Hamedan. The months of November, December, January, and February are the best time for traveling to south Iran, and visit the islands of Qeshm, Kish, Chabahar, and Bushehr.
The national currency in Iran is the Iranian Rial (IRR). But due to the dramatic decrease in Iran’s currency value, Iranians informally use Toman to make the daily transactions easier. Each Toman equals 10 Rials and you just need to omit one zero to find out the value in Toman.
