The Best Time for a Trip to Iran from Russia
Iran is a four-season country, treating you to something to do and somewhere to go all year round. So, a journey on the classic tourist route is possible whenever you decide to come. However, for the most pleasant tour of the main tourist magnets, spring and fall are generally the best seasons. The country is specially at its best from March through May. Travel from Russia to Iran’s certain regions might not be a nice choice in summer and winter. The reason is that winters can be really cold or snowy in some regions (western and northwestern Iran as examples), and summers can be intolerable in certain regions (like southern Iran and deserts). If you like to visit Iran’s desert or other hotter regions, winter is of course the best option. Nowruz Holidays are a fabulous time for a tour of Iran if you don’t mind the super crowded sights.
