A country where has been accused many times by international media of not to fulfill safety standards…

Visiting the tourist areas where people speak English and the travel services can be booked via international websites is getting easier day by day, but what if a woman prefers to take the extra challenge and experience more pure cultures and non-touristy communities? places where organized tours are mostly dominating…At friendly Iran, we have tried our bests to provide Iran women solo travelers with a specific half-organized tour package that covers the classic route and its highlighted attractions plus a paradise for solo female travelers, Hormoz Island, where you can set up your private camp on its colorful beaches. Hormoz is also a desired destination for Iranian girls who have started to travel alone. In this tailor-made Iran Tour, you can find the best stops, activities, and experiences for a female solo traveler.

Despite all western media, based on hundreds of opinions, Iran is one of the best countries for female travelers to travel alone and also the best option in the Middle East where solo travelers and backpackers can experience its rich history, mouthwatering food, its unique varied landscapes and also ski resorts. Iran is a destination with friendly people where it is so easy to meet and make local friends for a more immersive cultural experience; so, solo travelers can have a true experience of everyday Persian life, eat like the locals, sleep like the locals, participate in activities like the locals… Compulsory Hijab is one of the issues which prevents female travelers from adding Iran to their bucket list, but surprisingly most of the travelers have different ideas about it. Here you can check out a foreigner’s detailed view on the Islamic hijab in Iran.
