Mohammad runs a small tour company based in Tehran, which he set up as a social enterprise after spending time with the Bakhtiari nomads during their seasonal migration in 2017. He comes from Baft, in Kerman province, with family roots in the Afshar nomad tribe, and before moving into tourism he worked in engineering, journalism, and community development projects in Iran's marginalized regions.
His specialty is nomad-focused travel in the Zagros mountains: multi-day treks that follow the traditional migration routes of nomadic families, with camping along the way and nights spent in nomad tents. Trips are built around the nomads' own seasonal movements rather than a fixed tourist schedule.
Mohammad guides and drives personally, and also works with a team of other guides and drivers so he can arrange longer custom journeys, including trips that cross into neighbouring countries with a driver-guide and vehicle organised at each border. He speaks Persian along with English, German, Spanish, Turkish and Chinese.
He sees tourism as a way to support nomadic communities directly, and built his company around that idea.
