I am a world explorer, blessed with traveling to 87 countries. I have visited Iran twice and can say without hesitation that the Iranian people are some of the warmest, friendliest, most hospitable on the entire planet. Travel to Iran and discover a magical land filled with color, UNESCO sites, architectural wonders, remarkable Shiraz and Esfahan, desert beauty and food.. glorious Persian food.
