IRAN AS SAFE AS THE UK AND SLOVENIA, DENMARK AND SWITZERLAND AMONG WORLD’S LEAST DANGEROUS COUNTRIES
— TRAVEL RISK MAP (2019)
This is the first post on my new blog. I start with safety! and want to talk about Iran safety and its surrounding rumors
A country of deserts, beautiful mosques, the ancient ruins of Persepolis, and a whole lot more awaits you in incredible Iran. Seriously, this is an amazing destination that’s made even more awesome by the strength of its extremely friendly people.
Iran is generally a very safe place to travel, so much so that many travellers describe it as the ‘safest country I’ve ever been to’, or ‘much safer than travelling in Europe’. Violent crime against foreigners is extremely rare and, indeed, if you do your best to fit in with local customs, you are unlikely to be treated with anything but courtesy and friendliness – that applies to Americans, too. We have hitchhiked across deserts, stayed in the homes of strangers and left bags in restaurants and cafes without any problem.
Western embassies advise their nationals to register on arrival, especially if you will be in Iran for 10 or more days, or plan to visit remote places.
Although media and politicians say Iran is dangerous, but it is different in reality.
