The Iran Sebt Tour is a cultural tourism agency, which began forming its activities with artistic-scientific research in the academic environment of Europe in the 1970s.

The agency was founded by Mr. Ahmad Sebt Hosseini and his wife Luciana Manzi, who both hold PhD degrees in architecture and urban planning from the Sapienza University in Rome and are experts in historical architecture.

Discover Iran

With many years of experience in designing architectural structures and environmental surroundings (i.e. deserts, mountains, hills and fields) in Europe and Iran, providing cultural tours between Iran and Italy, holding cultural conferences, writing articles on tourism in different publications, as well as teaching tourism at universities, the founders are attempting to develop cultural exchange between all nations through tourism-discussions and organization of tours.

The cultural itineraries of Iran Sebt Tour are, in practice, keys to the gates of the thousand-year-old civilizations of the East. What can be more enjoyable than visiting an ancient land which has always been a historical centre of civilization with its mythology and variety of dialects, due to the many migrating tribes which have come to settle in the country.

Visit the many museums and excavated pre-historic and ancient archaeological sites of the civilizations of Mesopotamia, Susa, Choga-Zanbil, Ecbatana, and Persepolis. Experience the Parthian and Sassanian art, the jewels of desert architecture, the elements (soil, wind, water, fire), the minarets and brick, turquoise and golden arches and domes. Observe the relics of cultural and philosophical religions, such as the earliest Christian churches, Jewish synagogues, Zoroastrian fire temples and the temple of Annahita and symbols of Mithraism, the structure of primitive Islamic towns and ancient brick complexes, which have all been registered as international heritage by UNESCO. Discover the Iranian renaissance of unique colours and scents in traditional environments such as teahouses, bazaars, bathhouses and caravanserais. Enjoy the delicious Iranian cuisine made with exotic spices in friendly Iranian atmospheres and the melody of flowing water in famous Iranian gardens. Eventually your journey takes you to the unforgettable ambience of a Thousand and One Nights.
