Rasht is the capital of Gilan province and the largest city in northern Iran, sitting on the coastal plain near the Caspian Sea. Famous for its rainy climate and year-round greenery, Iranians call it the 'City of Rain.' Rasht is the gateway to northern Iran's nature: the ancient Hyrcanian forests (a UNESCO World Heritage site), misty mountain villages, tea fields, and Caspian beaches. UNESCO has also named Rasht a Creative City of Gastronomy for its rich northern cuisine. Iraqi travelers come mainly for tourism, nature, and the mild summer climate, away from the southern heat.
Iraqi travellers usually need a visa to enter Iran for ziyarah, tourism or medical care. Prepare your documents and book flights on RideFly.
