Iran is a Cheap destination for traveling
Traveling to Iran is cheap because of the low value of the Iranian currency compared to other currencies. The exchange value of each American Dollar and European Euro in Iran are around 13000 and 15000 Tomans respectively.
However the currency exchange value in Iran experiences a lot of fluctuations but the price of goods and services is somehow stable. The price tag of a bottle of water (1.5 liters) for example is around 2500 Tomans in Iran so you can purchase it with only $0.2.
