The possession and consumption of alcohol should be avoided at all costs. Violation of drug regulations can result in severe penalties, including the death penalty. Earthquakes The country is one of those countries in which earthquakes occur again and again. In particular, the simply built houses, such as the adobe buildings that are widespread in the country, collapse very quickly, even in the event of a low-strength earthquake, and thus bury the people in them. The most recent earthquakes in Iran shook the city of Bam in January 2004 (approx. 30,000 deaths) and the rural part in the southeast of the country (approx. 2,000 deaths) in February 2005.

There are regular connections to Iran with Iran Air (IR), KLM, Lufthansa and Swiss. The airport fee is RL 70,000.

There is a route network of around 5,850 km in length. There are two classes, with compartments between four and six seats. The route between Tehran and Mashad is particularly recommended. Ship Iran has two ports in the Persian Gulf that are called: Bandar Abbas and Bandar Bushehr. Travel in the countryAir connections Iran Air offers regular connections to Tehran, Isfahan, Ahvaz, Tabriz, Shiraz, Mashhad, Zahedan and other major cities. Aseman Air and Kish Air also offer domestic flights. Railway Iran has an approximately 5,000 km long and well-developed rail network. There are daily connections between the major cities and to the provinces. Some regions can only be reached by train. Most of the trains are comfortable and air-conditioned and have dining and sleeping cars. Bus The bus network is well developed and there are good and inexpensive bus routes between the cities. There are two travel classes: luxury and super. Since some cities have more than just one bus terminal, you should find out exactly where the bus you want leaves from. Streets There are about 140,000 km of roads in Iran, of which about 50,000 km are paved. Of this, approx. 490 km are motorway. The roads are not all in good shape. Iran has one of the best roads in the Orient. Rent a car You can rent a car in many cities and at the airports. An international driver's license and accident insurance are required. However, due to the often chaotic driving style, it is risky to drive a car in Iran. Taxis Taxis are relatively inexpensive and easy to recognize by their blue color. Shared taxis, on the other hand, are colored orange.

Officially, the following speed limits apply: Inner-city: 50 km/h Country roads: 80 km/h Motorways: 110 km/h For longer journeys - especially through desert areas - you should bring enough fuel with you and you should also be informed about the nearest petrol stations.
