Tehran Money in Iran
Posted: Sun May 11, 2008 01:57 PM UTC
I saw the posting about taking "traveller's checks" to Iran from the UAE. I'm coming from Pakistan, though (Lahore). Can I get such checks here? Any other advice about how to access money in Tehran?

Tehran Attention all Australian/Iranians and NZ/Iranians:
Posted: Mon April 21, 2008 04:53 AM UTC
hello,

After two weeks of pressing 'redial' on my phone to get through to the Iranian Embassy in Canberra I almost choked when someone actually picked up. My query was answered in my favour, however, stands in contradiction to previously and carefully collected 'research' from various and largely reliable sources. I would like to hear from any Australians/Kiwis with an Iranian father and/or name or women married to Iranians abroad who have visited Iran. Did you travel on your Australian/Kiwi passport? Were you ever under the belief that you had to obtain an Iranian passport? Any other information re travel to Iran from this small demographic would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Tehran Tehran....we saw and loved!
Posted: Tue February 26, 2008 02:04 PM UTC
Having posted so many questions on the Tehran forum over the past few months, I thought I would pass a few comments following my mid February visit.
We met up with the very helpful Amir, a regular responder to Tehran questions, at the Atlas Hotel. He gave advise on what to see and when to see it. We found The Atlas to be quite adequate, and a reasonable U.S $58 par night, a light breakfast included.
The cable car up the mountains to the north of the city was a excellent trip. The area was covered in snow and quite delightful. I would add that a kiosk at the bottom of the cable car sells French crepes. I had earlier eaten chocolate (Nutella) crepes in three or four Paris cafes and to my pleasant surprise the Tehran variety were the best!
VT posters have often mentioned the great hospitality of the Iranian people. Shortly after returning from the top of the mountain we were walking looking for a taxi when a couple who had also been up the mountain stopped their car and asked us if they could drive us to a taxi. They later insisted on driving us all the way to our destination, the Jam E Jam shopping centre.
All we came in contact with were very welcoming and helpful, and helped make our visit very enjoyable.
Any Australians reading this will be surprised to know that Australian made Tim Tams are even available in Iran. We spotted them at the small supermarket at Jam E Jam.

Tehran Olympic Hotel in Tehran
Posted: Fri February 22, 2008 06:42 AM UTC
hello
on our last day in iran, and especially because our flight is in the middle of the night, we have thought of staying at the Olympic Hotel in Tehran - basically because it's so close to the airport.

however, we have not found the hotel email... would anyone maybe have it?
we'd like to make a reservation there - and use it as our official address on the visa form - since it's the only one we know we will be staying.

thanks a million for any help

Tehran trying to email ATLAS HOTEL
Posted: Tue January 15, 2008 08:53 AM UTC
I have been trying to email the Atlas hotel in Tehran at the address mentioned on the hotel's website, info@atlas-hotel.com Alas, sending to this address does not succeed, my internet provider informing me that my email could not be sent to this address. Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong here? I know that some hotels there will not reply to emails, but my problem is getting it to them in the first place.

I shall be spending a few days in Tehran, including a Friday and a Saturday. I am told that there are 'non business' days, as are Saturdays and Sundays in Australia and many other countries. I am wondering if places such as markets will be open on these two days. Basically what will be open and what will be closed?

Tehran easy to obtain visa
Posted: Sat October 27, 2007 07:39 AM UTC
Australians wanting to visit Iran should not find it difficult to obtain a visa. We recently downloaded the visa application form from the Iranian embassy in Canberra and sent it off to them. Just two weeks later our passports were returned, containing the visas. However, despite our application stating that we would be travelling there in mid February, the visas expiry date was late January! A phone call to Ali at the embassy resulted in us being asked to return our passports for alteration. Problem fixed! At no stage was it necessary for us to obtain some sort of 'number' to send with our application, as has been mentioned by some VT users.

Tehran cable-car up mountains
Posted: Thu October 25, 2007 09:11 PM UTC
I believe that a cable car trip is available into the mountains to the immediate north of the city. Hoping that you can give me some general information about it. Where would I tell a taxi driver to take me to reach the cable car, does it have only one stop at the top, or stops along the way, and is there a restaurant etc at the summit? many thanks

Tehran south Tehran safety
Posted: Tue October 16, 2007 02:40 PM UTC
My father and I shall be spending a few days in Tehran in few months, assuming our visas are approved. While we shall be staying and spending most of our time in what we are told is the more well to do northern area, we would like to spend a day visiting the, I believe, more traditional southern area of Tehran. I am wondering if attitudes towards westerners and attention we may receive are different to what we will experience in the north. Anything we should be wary of?

Tehran Tours to take in iran for a 21 year old girl?
Posted: Mon September 17, 2007 05:41 PM UTC
Hello there,
I am actually traveling to Tehran, Iran after 12 years this Nouroz.
I was wondering if anybody knows any best tourist tour around Iran. I would actually like to see the more historical cities around and concentrate on my heritage.
Please let me know which tour would be the best. I am not looking for a very high class nor fancy one and I do speak Farsi well enough to get me around, I just want a tour that could and would have no trouble. Especially when it comes to my age and gender 21 year old girl. Please let me know if I am going to have trouble finding a tour who would accept me being there or do I have to bring in somebody else with me since I am a young girl?

Thanks a lot.

Tehran Transport from the airport to the city
Posted: Fri March 9, 2007 11:09 AM UTC
I will be arriving at the airport (IKIA) at 03:00 and am wondering about transport to the city.

I am assuming that there will be taxis available at that time in the morning, but are there official taxis with meters, pre-paid taxis or do you just take pot-luck with drivers outside the terminal?
