Spending rate in Iran (i.e. how much cash to carry)
Hi guys,
I´d appreciate advice from folks having done an Iran trip lately on how much cash is needed. We´ll be three people travelling with three motorcycles; all a family so we can share rooms where possible, and we´ll stay in Iran about 12 days. Typically our cash-burn rate in cheaper Eastern Europe-countries is between 100 and 150 Euros per day, including at least one daily stop at the gas station. We tend to stay in simple, but not filthy accomodations, like to stay on campgrounds as well, mostly cater to ourselves from supermarkets, markets etc. and typically do not patronize the most expensive haute cuisine restaurants.
Given that there are not ATM´s in Iran, we´ll need to bring lots of cash but I don´t want to overdo things. I would have guessed that Iran is cheaper and that 150 Euros per day (combined for the three of us) should suffice. Is my assumption correct that an extra 1.000 Euros would go a long way to haul a bike on a truck through the country towards the Turkish border, if need be?
Thanks, regards
Chris
