Swimming in the Caspian Sea

Unless you have been to other Islamic countries, you may be surprised to see the beach culture in Iran. However, like most things there is a hidden side to what you first see.

be informed that most Iranians use the Caspian beaches for picnicking.

Women swim with their clothes on. There are segregated beaches for men and women alike but they are not that popular. These beaches that are segregated are done so by curtains.

Those that have a boat go deep and swim freely.

Others use private and or isolated beaches although these are very far and few in between.

There are no restrictions for men. Men swim with their swimming trunks or shorts and that is it.

Water skiing is popular in the Caspian sea so is jet ski.

If you were wondering whether it was at all worth going for a swim you should not think twice. The waters of the Caspian are among the best swims in the world. There are no strong currents if the sea is calm, the water temperature is pleasantly warm in the summer and its low salinity means your skin feels the softness.

I have a rowing boat which we may take into the water and go for a nice swim.

The swimming season is between late May until October.

This question is on the minds of many, and the answer varies depending on who you ask. So, I thought I’d share some thoughts to help provide clarity. The influence of news and social media on our perceptions is undeniable. We’re bombarded with information online, much of it driven by various agendas. As an old Persian saying goes, "No cat catches a mouse for the sake of God," meaning everyone has their reasons for what they say or do. But what does it mean to be "safe"? If you’re concerned about personal safety from theft, robbery, or assault by ordinary Iranians, know that these incidents are extremely rare. There are far more dangerous places around the world where people travel in droves. If your concern is the possibility of war breaking out while you’re in Iran, consider this: Iran endured an eight-year war with Iraq, and since then, only occasional skirmishes along the borders have been reported. The likelihood of an all-...

Trekking in Iran

Trekking in Iran Iran may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of trekking destinations, but it boasts vast mountainous regions with exceptional trekking opportunities. With 52% of its surface area covered in mountains, Iran ranks as one of the most mountainous countries in the world. Two major mountain ranges dominate the landscape: the Alborz, stretching from the northwest to the northeast along the Caspian Sea, the largest lake in the world, and the formidable Zagros range, extending from the northwest to the southeast. The Alborz range is also home to Mount Damavand, the highest volcano in Asia and the tallest peak in Iran and the entire Middle East. Both mountain ranges offer excellent opportunities for hiking, mountaineering, skiing, canyoning, mountain biking, climbing, ski mountaineering, paragliding, and wildlife watching.
