Forget about what you have heard about Iran on media. Spend some time and seek the opinion of people who have actually visited Iran.
During the past few years, the global news about Iran was strongly affected by the political challenges between Iran and West, causing a dark and negative attitude towards our country. Instead of historic background, rich culture, climate diversity, hospitable and kind people, and unique architectural monuments, all you hear about Iran In media is war, terrorism, nuclear power and sanctions.
Iran is totally free from the crisis that has hit the Middle East and North Africa from Turkey to Egypt. In Iran you will see No war, No killing, No bombs, No kidnapping and No riots.
Please do not compare Iran with Afghanistan and don’t mistake it for Iraq. We respect every single country in the world, especially our neighbors; however, security wise, Iran is not comparable to its neighbor countries.
Iranians are very hospitable towards foreign nationalities, especially now that both people and the government believe that developing tourism industry will not only help the improvement of the economy of the county, but will also change the global attitude towards Iran.
We are sure that after visiting our country, you will all agree with us.
