A NOTE ABOUT TRAVEL TO IRAN
Participants must be in good health and able to keep pace
with an active group. They must be able to walk up to one
mile a day on uneven terrain; walk and stand for periods
of two hours at time; climb stairs (some without handrails)
at monuments and other locations not handicapped
accessible; and board a motorcoach unassisted. Any
condition that may require assistance or special medical
attention must be reported at the time of your reservation.
Participants are advised to bring “broken-in” walking shoes,
a sun hat, and comfortable attire.
Iranian people are warm and hospitable towards visitors.
Certain rules of dress and conduct are strictly observed
in Iran and all trip participants are expected to adhere to
local laws and customs. Alcohol is forbidden at all times,
and details about appropriate attire will be shared with
participants prior to departure. Long drives are to be
expected during this program; however, the remarkably
varied landscapes of Iran will offer a scenic panorama
along the way. Review the U.S. State Department’s Travel
Advisory for Iran at travel.state.gov.
