Iran: A Senior-friendly Country

Iran has been gaining popularity over the past few years as an excellent tourist destination, and one of the questions we get the most is: Is it senior-friendly?

There are some reasons that I suggest Iran as a right choice for the elderly’s overseas trip. Flights to Iran are cheap, comfortable accommodations are plenty, the climate is pleasant, and its major tourist sites are all easily accessible.

When you ensure your travel plans are senior-friendly you’ll be able to spend more of your trip enjoying the adventure and less time worrying about the logistics.

These two active and enthusiastic Australian guests are visiting Rayen Castle in Kerman

The glorious Rayen Castle.

Although known as a land covered in desert and drought, you can experience different types of climates and landscapes during one day in the vast province of Kerman. Rayen, which is a town laid on the foothills of Hezar peak in the south of Kerman offers a lush and fresh nature with green trees, bright sky and a wild and high waterfall.

Rayen is also home to the valuable historic gem, the beautiful “Rayen castle” or Arg- e Rayen. This architectural masterpiece, dating back to Sassanid era, is now the biggest adobe monument in the world after the glorious Bam castle, which was ruined after the earthquake in 2003. This castle, more than 20 thousand meter square in area, is the great complex of adobe arcs, towers, nested alleys, residential houses and the imperial palace.

Walk through the maze of ancient alleys and explore the houses and mansions keeping the secrets of Persian history. Join day tours of Kerman and have an amazing tour in the mysterious Kerman.
