The year of 1994 two young friends decided to open a travel company named Simorgh Aftab Shiraz after a failure from an aviation company, Simorgh was a big start in tourism industry but because of dramatic event and a loss of a dear friend, Behrooz Qanei, they closed the company.
On 1997 the two young guys with having years of experiences in tourism established “Gardeshgaran Shiraz Travel Agency” and start their profession as both outgoing and incoming tours, it was one of the first incoming tour operators in shiraz.
10 years after that, 2007, Mohamad friendlyiran’s CEO, decided to open the second branch “Gardeshgaran Shahr-e Raz Shiraz” and since he was interested a lot in incoming tours, the second office day by day became more successful in Iran incoming field and has been titled as the best incoming tour operator in Iran. Mohamad himself has studied MBA and his PH.D. is in Business Administration (DBA), although he has finished his education, he is always interested in learning new things and updating his information. This is why he has traveled to more than 50 countries, participated in international fairs such as Fitur, ITB, JATA, ATM, WT, met valuable masters and amazing men like Brian Tracy, Allen Pieze, Nick Vujicic, Kevin Gaskell and Marcos Rack and also joined the educational tours of visiting famous companies and brands.
