My name is Hossein Sheykhlou, I live and work in Iran and since 2010 I have been helping overland travellers in my home town of Urmia, offering wide range of tailored services for travellers who wish to visit Iran. I am a motorcycle traveller myself and have ridden all around Iran, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia.

 

Over the years I have helped out hundreds of overland travellers including cyclists, 4x4 enthusiasts, caravanners and motorcyclists. After helping so many people I have learnt a lot about travellers and the things they need.

 

I can offer all of the usual traveller services and also assist with the specific requirements for those people who travel with vehicles. The best motorcycle mechanic in North West Iran is a great friend of mine and I have contacts all over Iran who can supply any tyres, equipment and spare parts which your vehicle might need. Your vehicle will leave Urmia in a better condition than it arrived!

 

Below is a list of the services I offer for bikers, cyclists and drivers. And don't worry - if you need something that is not on the list, just contact me and no doubt I will be able to help you out.
