I remember a time when an Austrian biker named Chris was coming to my friend’s house in uptown Tehran. God, it’s hard to forget the look of astonishment on his face to see Tehran’s train station. If his draw could drop lower, it happened on the ride from the station, at Rah Ahan Square, to the house in uptown that took over 30 minutes.

You have decided to travel to Iran probably because it’s easy to afford. There has been a huge drop in the value of Iranian rial in recent years and that has attracted many foreign tourists from all over the world. If you google USD to IRR you will find the number 42,105.00 but when you do your first Money exchange in Iran at the airport you will realize that you have got much more than what you had expected. Read the article below to understand why:

“British citizens traveling to Iran freely and visa-free alongside a couple of their American and Canadian friends” can probably be dubbed as the dullest and in the same time most tragically painful joke that you could imagine telling a British citizen, or any citizen of the other two nationalities, who loves to travel to Iran; its even harder than getting up early in the morning. At the time of this writing, the process of getting an Iranian visa for British citizens, and their mischievous friends, match the hassle and the sweat of climbing Mount Everest since both of them will leave you breathless. It’s nothing less of a Pandora box.
