Winter in Iran

Winter is approaching in few days based on Iranian calendar. Iran is a relatively big country and due to its size the weather can extremely vary from northern Iran to south. Winter in North is quite cold and the temperature is well below zero every year with regular rain and snowfall depending to the generosity of Mother Nature.
However, South Iran enjoys a very pleasant and mild weather in winter, almost like a cool spring and it is quite possible to swim in the Persian Gulf for some hours in winter days.
All that said above, the way you are going to spend your travel to Iran in winter is very much based on where you are planning to go.
1. Ski the North: Dom Joly once revealed Iran’s biggest secret: “The Skiing in Iran is great.” +Beside Lebanon, Iran is the only country in the Middle East that enjoys the natural ski resorts and Iranian athletes have regularly participated in the Winter Olympics since 50s. 

2. Swim the South:  Ain’t you a fan of Skiing, then you may head to South. Southern provinces experience a very nice spring-like weather during winter and exploring them is quite fun. Khuzestan, Hormozgan, Bushehr and Sistan and Baluchistan provinces present a large number of historical sites, cultural diversity and lifestyles. Iran has also several beautiful islands in the Persian Gulf, among them Qeshm and Kish islands have made quite a reputation. Kish Island was ranked among the world’s 10 most beautiful islands by The New York Times in 2010 and fourth Tourism destination in southeast Asia. Foreign nationals wishing to enter Kish Free Zone from legal ports are not required to obtain visas prior to travel.
