Hello Travellers.
My name is Yousef. I am an Iranian documentary filmmaker.
If you want to travel to Iran, you are very welcome here.

I am not a talkative person, but when a traveler comes from another country, I like to do my best to help traveller.
Once a traveler asked i some questions, and I saw how good it would be to answer the same questions to all Travellers.

- How to get from the airport to Tehran? If by cab, how to avoid being scammed?
+ You can come from the airport to the city with a low cost by installing the Snap application and by metro and avoid fraud

- Is there a website similar to Booking where you can book accommodation?
+ There are all kinds of inns and hotels in the city and you can choose one according to your budget I think there is a list of guesthouses and hotels in Tehran in Booking. If not, I can find it for you.
