How much does accommodation cost in Iran?

Accommodation prices in Iran vary in different cities. The most expensive hotels can be found in Tehran, capital of Iran. Just as a sample, I mention the price for a three-star random hotel in Tehran. It ranges from 60 $ to 150 $ (4,500,000 Rials to 12,000,000 Rilas). In cities other than the capital, you can find cheaper hotels or accommodation. For example in Shiraz, which is one of the main cities in Iran, the average hotels may cost from 30 dollars to 90 dollars (2,200,000 Rilas to 6,660,000 Rilas).

If you choose traditional accommodation, it will be still cheaper for you. But the amazing point is that the quality of services is high enough and the price is really worth. Niayesh hotel, which is a traditional hotel in Shiraz costs about 20 dollar (1,700,000 Rilas) per person. The ecotourism residences, such as Parhami Traditional house, are getting so popular because of their unique atmosphere and the cheap prices they offer.

Well the options you have for moving from one city to another are domestinc flights, buses, trains, and private taxis. The most usual way to travel in Iran for tourists is travel by bus. There are two kinds of buses in Iran: first, Normal buses and second, VIP buses. The second is likely a better choice because of its more comfortable suits. Just as an example, the route Tehran-Shiraz, which is about 1000 kilometers, costs 10 dollars (800,000 Rials).

Domestic flights are obviously more expensive. A flight from Tehran to Shiraz costs about 40 dollars (3,000,000 Rials). During the holidays or high season which gets crowded, the tickets will be more expensive.

Regarding the trains, they are for sure the safest means for transportation, but not very common in Iran. However, you can simply use a train to travel to any city in Iran and the train prices in Iran are really low. The train ticket for the route “Tehran to Shiraz” is about 15 dollars (1,150,000 Rials).

prices in Iran: Getting around in the cities

The truth is that it’s relatively cheap to get around in the cities of Iran. the transportation prices in Iran are low. In the capital, Tehran, you can simply use Metro, the underground city, to move from places to places. Buses are also cheap options, but you may get stuck in traffic if you use buses or taxis. Metro passes are available at Metro stations, bust stations and newsstands. BRT buses are also good choices. These buses run on a special line on the main streets and subways, this is why they can move faster than cars. But don’t be surprised by the crowed you will encounter in the public transportation.

If you like to take a taxi, you may hear the word “Darbast”. This means you will be the only passenger in taxi and the driver takes you to your destination directly. So this is a Private taxi. In other cases you can take shared taxis, with other passengers as well, which will cost cheaper for sure.in case you want a shared one, make sure you clearly tell the driver that you don’t want it Darbast! Depending on the route, the fare for a shared taxi is from 0.25 $ to 0.5 $ (2000 Rials to 4000 Rials ).
