Each of Iran’s cities is considered a work of art in its own way and bears a part of the burden of the civilization of this land. So far, 26 natural and historical monuments of Iran have been registered in the UNESCO world list, and many monuments are waiting for internationalization. In general, the tourism situation in Iran may not be very well defined, but it is hoped that in the future we will use this endless capacity in order to introduce the culture of this mythical land to the world.
