Our recommendations for ensuring the safety of your trip to Iran

When planning a trip to a new country, the primary concern often revolves around the safety and security of the destination before considering its attractions and budget. When contemplating countries like Iran, it can be challenging to discern the truth due to the negative portrayals by mass media with their own agendas. As a Iranian local tour operator and authorized travel agency in Iran, we have some suggestions on how you can verify the accuracy of information regarding the safety of traveling to Iran.

Many of us prefer not to travel to places affected by civil war, coups, social disorder, or serious diseases. However, if none of these situations apply but you still want to ensure everything is in order, there are various methods to gather information about a location such as Iran.

• One positive aspect of the modern digital era is the availability of social media. It allows you to browse through various profiles and use tags to locate individuals who have recently visited Iran. These individuals can provide firsthand insights into the current situation and safety in Iran. Additionally, pictures can speak for themselves. Travel agencies like Uppersia maintain active social media platforms, such as Instagram, that can also offer valuable information on the current conditions in Iran.

• Another approach is to explore travel blogs to discover firsthand experiences of individuals who have visited Iran. Genuine travelers who are also bloggers value their credibility and are unlikely to fabricate stories about a destination. For instance, the Shooting Star is a notable travel blogger who extensively documented her journey to Iran.
• The second option is to go through the travel blogs and see what people who have directly visited Iran have written about it. True travelers who are also travel bloggers wont write lies about a destination as their credibility is important to them.The shooting star is a good example of a girl who have traveled to Iran and has written extensively about it.
