When to get a train in Iran?<\/h3>\n

Trains seem a completely perfect way to travel between many cities in Iran. We can talk more specifically about Train Tehran to Shiraz or vice versa. As Shiraz<\/a> is full of attractions from the Achaemenid<\/a> monuments like\u00a0Persepolis<\/a> and Pasargadae<\/a> to tomb of great poets like Saadi<\/a> and Hafez<\/a>, many people intend to visit this wonderful historical city. It would take more than 10 hours by bus, so you may feel a bit uncomfortable as you can\u2019t stretch your limbs. For such trips, getting on a flight or train makes more sense. You can turn over in comfortable beds and look at the beautiful scenery outside. Even get up and there\u2019s lots of space to walk around.<\/p>\n

Train Companies in Iran<\/h3>\n

There are about 12 \u00a0train operating companies in Iran. Their train type and qualities are completely different from each other. Some of \u00a0them mentioned in the list below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fadak<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Raja<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Saba<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Noor<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All these companies have Tehran-Shiraz train except Fadak. It is the best and most famous one, but it\u2019s one year it doesn\u2019t hold a train between Tehran and Shiraz. Fadak has trains through some special routes:<\/p>\n

    Tehran-Mashhad \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Zanjan-Mashhad Qazvin-Mashhad \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Ahvaz-Tehran<\/p>\n

    Qom-Mashhad \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Karaj-Mashhad Ahvaz-Mashhad<\/p>\n

    Each city\u2019s train station locates in different areas of the cities. For example, Tehran railway station is placed in South East of Tehran. About Isfahan, it\u2019s outside the city and sometimes not a good option for traveling. Yazd and Shiraz have train stations in the centers.<\/p>\n

    Tehran-Shiraz Railway<\/h3>\n

    For this journey, you need to get Tehran railway station. It\u2019s located on Rahahan St. in the southern part of Tehran. The term \u2018Rah Ahan\u2019 means railway in Persian. Tehran-Shiraz train starts its journey at night. You would be amazed by watching beautiful shining stars of the pure desert. So many people travel to deserts and stay there at night just to watch the mass of bright stars and relax in quiet cozy atmosphere of the desert, while you can experience it in a first-class overnight train.<\/p>\n
