An introduction stresses the necessity of understanding the cultural environment: this is an extract from a box on Independent Travel in Iran, "Travelling in Iran is quite possibly like travelling in Europe as an American. Compared to one's own land, there's just so much more history and politics to confuse everything. The Persians have been at it - history and politics - for a lot longer than most of us and they're infinitely more at home with the subtleties and complexities of their country."

A very different, beautiful and fascinating world opens up for the traveller to Iran today but respect or not for local customs can be the difference between safety and danger and this new guide is the ideal reference to make the most of a trip there. Information on how to get to places and where to stay is given as well as street plans.
