The large toman/rial confusion!

That is important to know prior to going to Iran! The official international change of Iran is in rial. Nonetheless, costs are often quoted in toman. So, when a taxi driver says 7… He means 70.000 toman or 700.000 rial. It’s fairly easy, and I promise you’ll get the cling of it on the primary day! In hostels/guesthouses, the charges are often quoted in USD. At all times ask the worth in rial as correctly.

Subsequently, it’s important to convey satisfactory journey cash plus some emergency cash.

  • Purchase a carpet and ask for added money cash (20% cost. so hardly an answer)
