With this being said, Iran is more or less a 365-day per year destinations, and there are benefits to visiting, no matter when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you&#8217;re able to tolerate the heat of summer (which regularly exceeds 40\u00baC and even 50\u00baC), crowd sizes tend to be smaller and prices tend to be lower. Likewise, while winter in Iran doesn&#8217;t allow you to enjoy spring flowers, fall colors or the correspondingly balmy weather, you can enjoy the country&#8217;s surprisingly awesome skiing, which is delightfully close to Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-ll-need-to-pack-accordingly\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"youll-need-to-pack-accordingly\"><\/span>You&#8217;ll Need to Pack Accordingly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Iran is a Muslim country that observes Sharia law, and the country&#8217;s dress customs reflect this. This is particularly the case for women, who need to adhere to the Islamic hijab. Men also need to avoid certain clothing items, such as short pants and sleeveless t-shirts; in general, all visitors to Iran should dress wearing conservative colors that contribute to a modest appearance. <a href=\"https:\/\/surfiran.com\/mag\/wear-visiting-iran-dress-code-in-iran\/\">For more information about how to dress in Iran, check out Surfiran&#8217;s comprehensive guide.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-bottom-line\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-bottom-line\"><\/span>The Bottom Line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Iran isn&#8217;t an easy place for Americans to visit, but it&#8217;s more than worth the trouble. Feel the vibrant energy of modern Tehran, discover history in UNESCO World Heritage Isfahan, take an expedition into the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/surfiran.com\/mag\/exploring-the-nature-in-the-desert-of-mesr\/\" title=\"Mesr Desert Exploration: An Unrivaled Beauty\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"15761\">Mesr Desert<\/a> or visit the world&#8217;s best selfie spot\u2014which, surprisingly, is a mosque in the city of Shiraz.
