Mashhad

The best time to visit Mashhad is during the spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) when the weather is pleasant. Summers can be very hot, and winters can be cold.

As a religious city, it's important to dress respectfully. Women should wear a headscarf and loose-fitting clothing that covers their arms and legs. Men should also dress modestly, avoiding shorts and sleeveless shirts.

Non-Muslims are welcome to visit the Imam Reza Shrine. However, they may be restricted from entering certain areas. Visitors should be respectful of the religious customs and follow the guidelines provided by the shrine authorities.
