The Islamic Republic of Iran is located in the Middle East between Iraq and Pakistan with borders on the Caspian Sea, Gulf of Oman, and the Persian Gulf. The population is estimated to be about 79.8 million people. Known as Persia until 1935, Iran has a history that goes back several thousand years.
During the 1960s, the ruling shah instituted many social and economic reforms. Many Muslims felt the reforms brought a western focus and violated religious law. In 1979, the monarchy was overthrown and the country became an Islamic republic. Conservative and fundamental Islamic principles were instituted and a theocratic republic was established led by clerics. The government has a supreme leader as chief of state and a president as head of government.
In 2011, Iran received about 3 million tourists (and this number is expected to grow with relaxed visa rules). Iran is home to many ancient archaeological and architectural attractions and has 16 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Some of these sites include the Persian Garden, Persepolis, and Tabriz Historic Bazaar Complex. Travellers can enjoy visiting ancient cities and tombs, palaces, and museums.
