What to pack for Iran in the summer

For a summer trip to Iran, it is important to pack clothing that will keep you cool and comfortable in the hot and dry weather.

Lightweight and breathable fabrics such as cotton and linen are ideal choices for staying cool during the day. Loose-fitting clothing will also help to keep you comfortable in the heat. It is recommended to pack modest clothing that covers the shoulders and knees, as this is the cultural norm in Iran.

T-shirts with sleeves and long skirts or pants are suitable options for both men and women. Scarves or shawls should be brought to cover your head when visiting mosques or religious sites. It is also important to pack sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong summer sun. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring cities and sightseeing.

Overall, the key is to pack practical, comfortable, and modest clothing for a summer trip to Iran.

During the summer in Iran, the climate is generally hot and dry, with temperatures regularly reaching above 100 degrees Fahrenheit in many parts of the country.

The intense heat is often accompanied by low humidity levels, creating a sweltering and arid environment.

However, in more mountainous regions such as the Zagros and Alborz Mountains, temperatures are cooler and more moderate, providing relief from the scorching summer heat experienced in other areas of the country.
