Hi,
I'm going to Iran for about 3 weeks in Oct.
Since I'm going on my own, I've decided to do an organised tour for 2 weeks, and then have about a week on my own.
Does anyone have any general tips?
e.g.
- How strict is the dress code for girls? I know I'll have to wear a headscarf and long shirt/jacket, but can you have exposed wrists and can you wear light colours?
- In Tehran airport, are there official taxis to take you to the centre?
- Is is ok to walk around as a girl on your own (i.e. you dont need a man with you?)
- what currency is best to bring, or are there ATMs?
- any tips on day trips from Tehran (already planning to go in the cable car up the mountains)
- any other tips you can think of!
Thanks,
Shiraz
