Iran
Iran occupies a vast plateau ringed by mountain ranges, its interior shifting from salt deserts to ski slopes within a few hours' drive. Ancient cities, Persian poetry, and a tradition of hospitality shape daily life in ways that often surprise first-time visitors. The scent of saffron and rosewater runs through the cuisine and the culture alike.
About Iran
Overview
Located in Western Asia, Iran borders Turkey, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, with coastlines on the Caspian Sea to the north and the Persian Gulf to the south. The capital is Tehran. Persian (Farsi) is the official language, and the currency is the Iranian rial, though transactions commonly use the toman as a colloquial unit. Iran's identity is shaped by one of the world's oldest continuous civilisations.
