Top things to do in Iran with kids

1. Desert Safari

Unless you are experienced in driving in sands, we don’t recommend that you do it yourselves, but ask a local to take you out. This is a fantastic and fun activity to do when you travel to Iran with kids. Go in the late afternoon and stop in a remote spot for sunset to drink in the view.

For a less adrenalin-fueled experience than desert safari, just head out into the dunes on foot in the early morning or late afternoon. Children will spend hours climbing up the side of the dunes then racing or roly-playing (even teenagers).
