Hi everyone,

I’m planning a two-week trip to Iran in September and I’m reaching out for some valuable tips....

After doing a bit of research, I’ve sketched out a rough itinerary.

I plan to spend 2–3 days in Tehran, then head down to Isfahan for 4–5 days with an overnight stop in Kashan. After that, I’m thinking of going to Shiraz for 2–3 days, including a visit to Persepolis. Then back to Tehran with a 2-day stop in Yazd.

What do you think? Is this doable? Are there any other must-see spots?

The north, with Tabriz and Masuleh, also caught my eye, but what should I cut to fit them in?

If you have any recommendations for high-quality, authentic hotels, I’d love to hear them.

And one last (silly) question—I’m a smoker (unfortunately!), so is it allowed for women to smoke in Iran? If so, under what conditions?

Thanks in advance for your help, and I’m all ears for any advice!
