Iran airlines and railways have lots of domestic flights and trains in almost every route. With the notable exception of Iran Air, it is pretty much impossible to book domestic flights outside Iran as there are no English online booking systems available that accept foreign credit cards. The same problem exists with domestic railways. Domestic flight/ train prices are set by the government and are incredibly cheap by western standards. Flight prices are constant across all airlines so it does not matter which airline you fly with, you can decide...

It might be fine if you plan to stay on a beach or spend your days snorkelling with dolphins, but if you have to navigate your way around a country, travelling without access to GPS-assisted maps, currency converters and email seems a silly restriction. Especially when travelling in a country like Iran. Here, the private and public spheres are two completely different worlds and access to social media can make the difference between merely learning about...

n a leafy street in Isfahan’s laid-back but ancient Jolfa quarter, away from Imam Square and the bazaar for which the city is renowned, the Isfahan Music Museum provides welcome refuge.
