Best Time to Visit:
For Tehran and Tabriz, the best time to visit is during spring (April – June) and autumn (September – November) when temperatures are moderate. For Shiraz and Yazd, the best time is during late autumn to early spring (November – March), when temperatures are cooler.

Route and Accessibility:
Iran has an extensive public transport network. Intercity buses and trains are available to travel between Tehran, Shiraz, Tabriz, and Yazd. Domestic flights are also an option.

Altitude and Acclimatization:
Tehran sits at a relatively high altitude of about 1,100 meters. It is advisable to take some time to adjust to the altitude upon your arrival.

Accommodation and Booking:
Book your accommodations in advance, especially during Iran's peak travel times which coincide with major public holidays. A range of accommodations is available from budget guesthouses to luxurious hotels.

Clothing and Essentials:
Iran is a predominantly Islamic country where modest clothing is required. Both men and women should avoid wearing shorts in public. Women are required to wear a headscarf in public places. Carry sunscreen, a good quality travel adapter, and a reusable water bottle.

Health and Safety:
Keep a basic first aid kit handy. Tap water in major cities in Iran is generally safe to drink, but bottled water is usually recommended for those not accustomed to the local water.

Local Etiquette and Respect:
Iranians are known for their hospitality. Be respectful to local customs and traditions. Remember to remove your shoes when entering religious sites and homes. It's also important to participate in "Taarof", an etiquette of politeness, where Iranians may offer goods or services for free - it's customary to kindly refuse the offer initially.

Always ask for permission before taking photographs, especially of people and religious sites. Remember to respect the local customs and traditions throughout your stay in Iran.
