About this tour
Magical Iran: Desert & Islands is a Wild Chronicles tour that follows a route few operators run, focusing on Iran's islands and deserts rather than only the usual highlights.
The program explores Qeshm, Iran's largest island and a UNESCO Global Geopark, including the Chahkooh Canyon, and Hormuz Island, known as the rainbow island of the Persian Gulf for its red, yellow and orange landscapes and its past as a medieval trading hub. It also visits the Persian Shazdeh Garden in the desert and Arg-e Bam, the UNESCO World Heritage mud-brick citadel.
Guests camp in the Lut Desert and ride the cable car up Tochal Mountain in the Alborz range near Tehran. The Wild Chronicles holds Thai tourism business licence 11/10382.
