Iran: Wonders of Persia

Eco-Expeditions’ cultural tour to Iran reveals a fascinating, hospitable country where turbaned clerics and carpet-weaving nomads co-exist in the shadows of architectural masterpieces. Formerly known as Persia, Iran’s turbulent and colorful history was written by its successive rulers, the Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Parthians, Sassanians, and even the British and Russians. Each conquest left its mark and we visit Iran’s unique cultural treasures replete with magnificent ruins, including the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Persepolis; glorious mosques; and stupendous citadels.
