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.
