Could you please provide the location's name or maybe address/gps?

Currently I am in the process of planning an overland trip starting in March '17.

Thank you.

Addresses in Iran aren't like what you're used to. Most of the time they don't really use street names and house numbers to give address info. At least not in the large cities. In stead they tell you which district and off which main road you need to be and then describe how to get from there to your destination.

Hi all, I would like to add just one point regarding accommodation after 1 week in Iran, I plan to stay about a month:

Hotels are crazy expensive and bad in Iran compared with other countries, food is very cheap (3-6 euros for a meal with drink in a restaurant) but accommodation is another story:

- There are loads of guest houses which have very different prices, I saw rooms for 9 euros from 50 (I think the just say the first figure they have in mind and wait your reaction), most of them with shared bathroom and really dirty places.

- Hotels can go from 20 to 100 euros, most 3* can range from 30 to 60 euros but it also depends on how you negotiate the price. In some hotels they offered me to pay in dollars, but when I asked the price in rials was like almost double and they didn't understand the rate they were using was not accurate at all. Conclusion, pay in the currency is cheaper!

- This may be obvious but for people who hasn't traveled these countries: 3* hotels are actually 1* or just pensions in terms of European standards, so a good guide is that the prices are 50% higher in Iran for 50% lower quality. This means that a single room for 20 euros in Iran is like a 10 euros or less in Europe.

I am not very picky with these things as long as the bed is clean and the toilet is decent to have a shower, but some people may not want to stay in a 30 euros hotel in Iran, so that's something to bear in mind.

In Tabriz I stayed in a 20 euros hotel (Hotel Quods) and to compare that to Europe, I stayed in 10 euros hotel that were way better on my way here from London in these 2 months.

I didn't explore the home-stays or camping yet, I plan to do it in the next cities I visit but people are Indeed very friendly and helpful but they won't ask you for money.
