It's a huge country (almost 3 times the size of France) with a <strong>wide variety of landscapes (mountains, deserts, islands)<\/strong>, <strong>architectural treasures<\/strong> and a <strong>particularly friendly population<\/strong>. Indeed, Iranians have that natural kindness and curiosity that immediately puts you at ease. Although cities such as Shiraz, Isfahan and Yazd are becoming increasingly popular, the rest of the country is largely untouristy and you'll be made to feel very welcome, in accordance with the local rules of etiquette known as \"Taarof\". If you visit Iran in spring, you may be lucky enough to cross paths with the nomads who invade the high-altitude pastures during the transhumance. At this time of year, Kurdistan is very pleasant thanks to its climate and the festivities that take over the villages and streets (singing, dancing, bonfires) despite government repression. An experience not to be missed.      <\/p>\n<p>Even if you can visit the country by public transport, nothing beats a minimum of freedom to get off the beaten track. Here are the different possibilities: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Renting a car in Tehran:<\/strong> Absolutely unaffordable and few vehicles available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pay a cab driver<\/strong> to take you to the area you want to visit. You can leave for a day or even several days with a driver, but you'll need to negotiate the price of transport, taking into account the driver's accommodation. This doesn't leave you much freedom, but it can often be interesting if the driver knows the area well.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>Arrive in Iran with your own vehicle<\/strong> (by far the best solution in our opinion). Nevertheless, there are a few formalities (and not the least) to be aware of before you leave. You must pay a deposit representing 150 times the value of your vehicle (this is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.automobile-club.org\/tourisme-et-voyages\/carnet-de-passages-en-douane\/modalites-pratiques-et-tarifs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carnet de Passages en Douane<\/a>).

Hormuz is located in <strong>the far south of Iran, in the Persian Gulf<\/strong> off Bandar Abbas. The scenery is truly astonishing, a <strong>geological gem<\/strong> with red cliffs, sparkling black sand beaches and multicolored mountains. It looks like a surrealist painting. Unfortunately, the island is very polluted, especially after the Nooruz holidays, when many Iranian tourists invade the island and leave their garbage on the beaches. Rest assured, this in no way detracts from the beauty of this place, which you absolutely must add to your to-do-list!     <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The island is <strong>accessible by ferry from Bandar Abbas and Qeshm<\/strong>. You can <strong>take a Tuk-tuk<\/strong> around the island, but nothing can replace the freedom of a motorcycle to go wherever you want! <\/span>  There are <strong>no rental agencies<\/strong> (last trip in April 2018), but <strong>locals can rent you their motorcycles for the day or more<\/strong>. As soon as you arrive at the port, try your luck with the nearest shopkeepers. If that doesn't work, don't hesitate to go into the village and talk to the locals, who will help you. We negotiated the price down to 15 euros for a 150cc motorcycle, which allows two people to tour the island without any problems. The deposit we left was an identity document (not your passport, of course).    <\/p>\n<p>As far as accommodation is concerned, <strong>wild camping is permitted throughout the island<\/strong>, much to our delight! <strong>Be careful, however, to leave the site clean - this island needs looking after<\/strong>. There are a number of magnificent spots, which we've placed on the map below, but there's nothing like discovering for yourself the treasures this little island has to offer. We recommend <strong>2 or 3 days on the island<\/strong> to make the most of it, even if one day is more than enough to tour the whole island. Some beaches are only accessible by boat, so <strong>you may be lucky enough to spot dolphins<\/strong>. Don't miss the <strong>Museum of Doctor Ahmad Nadalian<\/strong> and the surrounding narrow streets in the unique city of Hormuz. The walls are painted in a rainbow of colors.       <span style=\"font-size: 17px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_1 et_pb_image et_pb_module

et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>The Kerman area is an <strong>arid region<\/strong> where you can discover the <strong>hottest desert in the world<\/strong>, with its <strong>famous Kaluts<\/strong> (wind-eroded sand formations). In the city of Kerman, the <strong>superb bazaar is not to be missed. It is one of the oldest in Iran<\/strong> and has preserved its original architecture. We recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/shoesyourpath.com\/iran-splendeurs-kerman-et-desert-lut\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this ShoesYourPath article<\/a> on places to visit in Kerman. Many Iranians offer <strong>desert excursions for the day or night<\/strong>. Whether you're looking for a sunset or the Milky Way in the middle of the desert, don't hesitate for a second. Please note, however, that prices can vary widely. A 4x4 is not necessary for this part of the desert.      <\/p>\n<p>2 hours north of Kerman we were welcomed by <a href=\"https:\/\/hamidrahmanitours.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamid Rahmani<\/a>, who rents out rooms in his pleasant country house and offers excursions in the region. We have to admit that what caught our attention in his announcement on Homestay was the possibility of using his motorcycles! It's a little more expensive than in Hormuz, but hey, you can't put a price on freedom, can you? He offers a package including overnight accommodation, 3 home-cooked meals prepared by his wife (exquisite!) and a choice of 2 activities per day. The cost is 25 euros per person, which is a lot in Iran but not much in France for this service.    <\/p>\n<p>Hamid's activities <strong>include a motorcycle tour (with or without him)<\/strong>. So if you don't know how to ride a motorcycle, no problem, Hamid will teach you! Whether for a full day or a half-day, there's no extra charge - everything is included in the \u20ac25 price. The guest house is located in the beautiful village of Dashtekhak. The area offers <strong>splendid scenery: canyons, mountains, desert and, if you come in spring, almond blossom<\/strong>. We were even treated to snow in the mountains, followed by a sandstorm in the Luts desert. Above is a satellite image of the area around Hamid's, enough to make your mouth water!     <\/p>\n<p>We don't have a precise itinerary for you: as you leave the village, head for the mountains and let yourself be carried away - you'll love it!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_10 et_pb_row
