We are live!

Hello cyberspace,
We are so thrilled to embark on this exciting adventure, delving into the unknown depths of Iran with you!

For our first post, we would like to clarify what we hope to achieve through our initiative, Unveiling Iran.

We want to unveil the true, hidden Iran, untainted by the media or misconceptions held in the west. We aim to promote safe travel to the mysterious, ancient land, providing truthful recounts of adventure!

From an excerpt of the Lonely Planet Iran Travel Guide,

We look forward to unveiling the hidden jewels in Iran’s mighty treasure chest.

Peace,

Unveiling Iran
