Our suggestions for maintaining a safe journey during your trip to Iran

When organizing a trip to a new country, one of the main concern usually centers on the safety and security of the destination before exploring its attractions and budget options. Considering countries like Iran, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction due to the negative portrayals often presented by mass media with their own agendas. As a local tour operator and authorized travel agency in Iran, we would like to offer some tips on how you can verify the reliability of information regarding travel safety in 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.
