A fantastic workaway opportunity to explore Iran with one of the country’s foremost and innovative travelling startups. We are looking for energetic, social and active Iran lovers to help us with many different aspects of our site. Passionate individuals with experience in digital marketing, tourism, journalism, blogging or web development are preferred. Applicants will be provided with appropriate room & board throughout their stay with us. We care very much about selecting applicants that are a good match with our team, so in order to assess your personality and overall character, we do request that all applicants go through at least one Skype video interview.
We are a group of young travellers, explorers, tour guides and overall Iran enthusiasts with diverse backgrounds who came together to expand and popularize Iran’s culture, society and history. Starting about one year ago, many of us realized that web services offered to travellers who wish to visit Iran are extremely limited and oftentimes not up-to-date. Thus, TAP Persia was born to address this vastly important issue. Since then, our team has continued to grow each month, with a passionate global network of team members and correspondents (check out our team) who contribute daily.
We are a full-service tourism service startup in Iran catering to visitors of all backgrounds and budgets, from hitchhikers all the way to luxury 5-star travellers. We offer unique and custom eco, cultural and historical tours; cultural workshops; currency exchanges and tourist cards (temporary debit cards); visa processing and extensions; any form of transportation booking; car rentals; any form of accommodation booking; and travel & health insurance. TAP Persia is designed to be entirely customer-centric, making it easy to navigate our site to find the right match for solo or group trips.
A tailor-made day by day plan based on your interests and budget
Over €10K in medical, transport & legal coverage
TAP Persia is headquartered in the historic and spirited city of Isfahan. As the capital of the last influential Iranian royal dynasty (Safavid Dynasty, 1501–1736), Isfahan is a marvel of architectural and cultural wonder. As the second largest city in the country, Isfahan is the industrial, political, cultural, and most importantly, artistic capital of Iran. Being one of the main hubs in the ancient and famous silk road has put Isfahan on the map as a trade and travel capital throughout time. Today, thanks to its central geographical location within Iran, it has recaptured its regional dominance as a main hub for all travellers who wish to explore Iran’s diverse landscapes. No matter what activity you have in mind, you are never more than a click away from timeless entertainment.
Here at TAP Persia, our vibrant startup culture is everything. Above all, we want to select individuals who we know are a great match with the rest of our group. Therefore, this job is essentially for anyone who is energetic, social, and active.
We are looking for help with several different areas of our operations. If you have experience in one or more of the areas mentioned below, please attach a brief resume of your experience along with your completed application (explained below).

All of our workaway guests will be provided with free room and half-board (breakfast and lunch) in our headquarter city of Isfahan throughout their one to three month stay in Iran.

However, the room & board provided is only applicable during your stay in Isfahan and is not included while you are travelling in other cities.
Workawayers can work remotely from anywhere to complete the minimum 20-30 hours of work given to them each week. As long as the work is completed, we do not require set office hours. You are free to work whenever and wherever you please.

Travel with piece of mind knowing you are only a phone call away from our team, no matter what part of Iran you visit.

Workaway guests are required to stay in Iran for a minimum of one month and can extend their stay for up to three months. The workaway opportunity is similar to an unpaid part-time internship and does not include a salary or allowance. We do, however, offer free room and board along with employee discounts on all TAP Persia services including our tours, workshops, transportations bookings and much much more.
All expenses other than room & board in the city of Isfahan including but not limited to tours, transportation, insurance, outside meals and similar transactions are not covered by TAP Persia.
Throughout your stay with TAP Persia, you will be given ample opportunity to expand your skills by working with an innovative, energetic, and above all, experienced team. No matter which area you are chosen for, you will leave Iran with new insights and outlooks regarding your field.
At the end of your workaway stay, your work will be displayed proudly on our website and you will be given credit as a contributor on the site.
