What to pack for Iran

When packing for a trip to Iran, it's important to consider the modest and conservative dress code followed in the country.

For both men and women, it is advisable to bring clothing that covers most of the body to show respect for the local culture and to avoid unwanted attention. Lightweight, long-sleeved tops and pants or skirts that reach below the knee are recommended for both men and women.

Women should also pack a headscarf to cover their hair in public spaces. During the summer months, lightweight and breathable fabrics such as cotton and linen are ideal, while warmer layers will be needed for the cooler winter months. It's also a good idea to pack a pair of comfortable and modest walking shoes for exploring the country's sights and attractions.

Overall, the key is to dress modestly and respectfully while still staying cool and comfortable in the varying climates of Iran.

Iran experiences a diverse climate, with different regions having a range of weather patterns.

Overall, the country has a predominantly arid or semi-arid climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. In the northern regions, near the Caspian Sea, the climate is more moderate and experiences higher levels of precipitation, while in the central and southern regions, the climate is more desert-like, with very little rainfall and high temperatures.

In the mountainous areas, temperatures can be much cooler, and snowfall is common during the winter months.
