This is the wrong place to finish that class paper on Satanic Verses and shouldn't be on your A-list for an all-over tan, but Iran does have a vast amount to offer the traveller who doesn't mind covering up (preferably not in that Reagan poncho), and eschewing ale and heartfelt feminist discourse. For culture seekers, Iran has magnificent ruins of ancient cities, plus glorious mosques and mausoleums, and museums so interesting they're bound to leave your feet sore. The more adventurous can enjoy trekking, budget-priced skiing, or shocking Iranian picnickers by swooping off cliffs strapped to a hang-glider cannily concealed in a backpack.
