Hello Travellers. My name is Yousef.
I'm an Iranian documentary filmmaker, also sometimes Actor.

If you want to travel to Iran, you are very welcome here.

I am not a talkative person at all , but love helping travelers. Because I know that traveling to a new place brings new issues with it, and requires new solutions and help. And I want the same to be done for me.
Once a traveler asked i some questions, and I saw how good it would be to answer the same questions to all Travellers.

-- How to get from the airport to Tehran? If by cab, how to avoid being scammed?
+ You can come from the airport to the city with a low cost by installing the Snap application and by metro and avoid fraud

-- Is there a website similar to Booking where you can book accommodation?
+ There are all kinds of inns and hotels in the city and you can choose one according to your budget I think there is a list of guesthouses and hotels in Tehran in Booking. If not, I can find it for you.

-- Tell me about money. I heard that you have two currencies. Which one and where is it better to change?
+ There is a one currency. But in written transactions, the name Rial is used, and in other transactions, the name Toman is used.

-- How to travel between cities? Are there buses and where can you find them? How much does it cost?
+ There are four terminals for intercity travel in Tehran, you must tell which city you intend to travel to, I will tell you which one to use.

-- What are some must-see places in Iran? Which cities?
+ It depends on your taste, but I recommend (TEHRAN my city) , KASHAN , ISFAHAN , SHIRAZ , YAZD , SHOUSHTAR , KHORRAMABAD , KERMANSHAH , KERMAN (KALOUTS) , TABRIZ , RASHT and RAMSAR.

-- What is not allowed to do in Iran? What rules of behavior should be observed?

**Don't buy alcoholic beverages from anyone you dont know. Every year several people in Iran die or lose their eyes due to the use of fake drinks**
