Tour Description

The Chaharshabesuri fire celebration is a sign of light coming our way after a cold dark winter. Persians have been celebrating the last Wednesday of the year since ancient times. They believe that with the year ending, they have to get together and throw all the bad energies into the fire. Therefore, they ask the fire to burn the bad and bring forth the light and its powers to guide them through the new year. We have designed this Iran tour package for travelers to get lost in an authentic Persian family gathering. Therefore, it will be a night full of light as you jump over bonfires while enjoying delicious local dishes and specialized Chaharshabesuri snacks. Also, you will burn away all your fears and invite all the dreams to come your way with flying a balloon in the air. You’ll get to understand how winter ends and spring begins within the local communities of Iran travel agency.

    Story of the Day

    The day starts with walking through the streets of Tehran. Therefore, we’ll see the preparation and the feel of Chaharshanbesuri in town. Then, we’ll continue our adventure by heading to Tajrish bazaar for some Chaharshanbesuri shopping through the secret corner shops. As the evening approaches, we’ll be heading to a public ceremony. Afterward, we’ll experience one of the authentic rituals of Chaharshanbesuri, “ghashogh zani”. We’ll knock on people’s doors with a spoon, and in return, they give us Chaharshanbesuri snacks and treats. Afterward, we’ll be jumping over bonfires with some traditional Persian music and dance. Then, we’ll get to fly our wish balloons into the sky before heading to a private party. So, we’ll end our night at a party with friends and a small local community in Iran to have more in-depth conversations and get to know the Chaharshabesuri traditions beyond our surface knowledge.
