Okay, so I needed some solid info about Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) in Tehran. You know, the kind of stuff you actually need when you’re traveling, not just the fluffy tourist brochure descriptions. I was looking for practical details, so I started digging.

First, I tried to get a sense of the place. I mean, how big is it? What kind of facilities does it have? I was looking for the basics. So, I started poking around various websites to Get a feel for the general layout and amenities.
My main goals were:
- Figure out the transport options – how to get to and from the city.
- Find out about currency exchange – where to get the best rates.
- Check out the food situation – are there decent places to eat?
- See if there were any prayer rooms or quiet areas.
- look for wifi infomation.
I spent a good amount of time trying to understand transportation. I searched a lot, checked for official airport shuttles, and pre-booked taxis, trying to get my head around pricing and how reliable they were. It’s a bit tough to pin down definitively because it’s all from personal accounts.
Next up, money. Finding reliable info on currency exchange rates is key. It is said that best rate is get the local currency at the airport.
Then there’s the food. I gotta eat, right? I spent time looking at what other travelers said about the restaurants and cafes. Mostly it’s finding mentions in forums or reviews, piecing together bits of info.

The Overall Vibe
It is hard to find solid information about this airport online. But, I’ll keep digging and update this if I find anything more concrete. It’s all part of the adventure, right?
