Where to stay
Online hotel booking sites like Booking.com don't have listings for Iran. Book accommodation in person upon arrival by asking locals or checking hotels directly in town.
Save money
Hotels in Iran are very cheap due to inflation. Expect to pay around $20 per night for a large room with living area, kitchen, and bedroom.
Save money
Petrol in Iran costs less than 10 US cents per liter (approximately 8 Euro cents), making fuel exceptionally affordable.
Save money
Food and most goods in Iran are very cheap. Budget accordingly as prices are significantly lower than in many other countries.
Transport
The route from Bandar Abbas port north to Rayen is approximately 400 kilometers. Plan for a full day of riding.
Avoid
Iranian traffic is intense with drivers switching lanes frequently and driving aggressively. Ride with extra caution, especially in cities.
Avoid
Local drivers may drive extremely close to motorcycles out of curiosity, which can be startling. Be prepared for this attention.
Timing
Mountain areas near Rayen get very cold. Bring a thicker jacket even if other regions are warm.
Transport
Some roads to smaller towns like Rayen may not appear on maps and can be small mountain roads, including possible off-road sections.
Tip
Iranian currency has extremely high denomination banknotes (1 million rial notes) due to inflation. Familiarize yourself with currency values.
