When to Go
The best times to visit are generally autumn (fall) and spring, although weather conditions
do vary from province to province. Avoid travelling here in summer, particularly in the
desert areas, as it can hit 50°C. At the other extreme, winter brings snow to the Zagros
Mountains and freezing nights in the desert.
If you are keen to experience a local festival, Ashura (in July) is particularly fascinating
(especially in Shiraz and Yazd), but we suggest staying away during No Ruz (Iranian New
Year; 21 March to 3 April), when the entire region is swamped with Iranian holiday-
makers.
