If you’re a risk-averse person who panics when your Uber is late, probably not. Iran is an adventure, not a package holiday. You need patience, a good sense of humor, and a willingness to eat 10,000 calories a day.
But if you want to see the most beautiful mosques on Earth, eat the best kebabs of your life, and meet people who will treat you like family for no reason, then pack your bags. Just tell your mum you’re going to a “safe” country like France. She won’t know the difference.
Final verdict: Safe enough to enjoy, weird enough to remember, and delicious enough to justify the travel insurance. Just buy that VPN before you land.
