At least five such trips are expected within the Persia and Silk Road program between 2016 and 2017, which will additionally see tourists coming to Moscow from Tehran.

Going by train from Russia to Iran is believed to be one of the most unusual and exciting ways to travel across Central Asia and the Middle East, something that understandably costs a bundle.

The price tag of the cheapest ticket for the Moscow-Tehran train, including the cost of food and excursions, stands at almost $21,000.

As for Golden Eagle Luxury Trains Limited, it is the world's leading operator of luxury rail trips to Central Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Russia. Earlier this month, a Golden Eagle train with 42 Americans and Europeans on board arrived in the Iranian ancient city of Isfahan.
