Golden Eagle trains took their first journey across Iran back in 2014 carrying more than 170 tourists. Reportedly, the UK-based company is expecting two more visits to Iran by the end of the current Iranian year (March 20, 2019). The tour is also aimed to help reflect Iran’s true image and help revive the country’s tourism sector, which has observed a fall during the past year.
