How Iran Was Presented to Travelers in 2016
A Daily Mail travel feature published on 7 February 2016 used a large photo collection to introduce readers to Iran’s architecture, historic sites, landscapes and everyday scenes. The coverage appeared during a period of renewed international interest in travel to Iran.
The original feature highlighted places across the country, including Persepolis, Shiraz, Isfahan, Kashan, Tehran and Ardabil. It also discussed visa procedures and tourism investment as they stood in 2016. Those policy details are historical and should not be used for present-day planning.
Places Featured in the Photo Story

The photographs ranged from major monuments to street-level scenes. They included Nasir al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, historic Isfahan, Golestan Palace in Tehran and architecture in Ardabil.
