All of them rave about the place and say the people are wonderful and engaging.
There will be some issues if you're planning to visit Israel on the same trip.

stry wrote:Corvus, for me it's the appeal of wild, out of the way places. That may not be sufficient reason for others. I'm not sure, but I think one's chances of being caught up in conflict in Iran post Shah, are pretty slim. Again "pretty slim'' may not be sufficient margin for others, and that's fine - we are all different

Whilst it's an enemy of the US and is aggressively portrayed so by the Western media, the truth would be far from those propaganda, or Iran would have disintegrated long ago. So yes, I would not hesitant to visit the country unless I am carrying a US or Israeli passport.
