The Big Idea

A comprehensive, beautifully designed tourism encyclopedia covering Iran's geography, history, culture, and destinations: the first authoritative travel reference built specifically for this purpose.

To know Iran is to fall in love with complexity.

01 Origin

Iran Had No Map for Itself

Iran's tourism sector lacked a single authoritative reference that travelers, guides, and hospitality professionals could rely on. What existed was scattered, inconsistent, and often outdated or incomplete.

IranPedia
02 Vision

Every Province, Every Story

IranPedia treated tourism as more than a list of destinations. It aimed to connect geography, history, culture, and practical travel information in a format people could use and return to.

IranPedia
03 Impact

The Go-To Reference for Iranian Tourism

The project showed how editorial structure, original visual work, and cultural storytelling can make complex local knowledge more accessible.
