How much time to spend in Iran?
How much time do you have? Let me put it this way, I spent about 3 weeks there with the above Itinerary. I have been told that Kerman is expensive and there’s not much to see. I would have enjoyed going to Mashad, but without taking a flight it would have taken too long. It’s quite a bit out of the way. An internal flight may solve this if time is your problem. After that it depends on you own interests. Some people may prefer to stay in Esfahan for 5 days, others 3 days. In Yazd you could easily just go for a vacation and not move out for the night for 2 weeks. For most people they have two weeks, and the following would be a good itinerary to cover all. Esfahan 3 days – Shiraz/Persepolis – 2/3 days – Yazd/desert tours 5 days – Tehran 2 days. So this is a total of 12-13 days. Leaving 2 extra days in case you want to stop off at places like Qom, or take that trip up to Mashad.
