About This Tour

Los Angeles is home to the largest concentration of Iranians in the United States. No other city has an established neighborhood that identifies as uniquely Iranian like Los Angeles’ Tehrangeles, located in Westwood, does. But like so many ethnic or nationally bound neighborhoods found in L.A. County, Tehrangeles is only one area where an Iranian presence can be found.

Irangeles: A Driving Tour invites you to explore five neighborhoods significant for their connection to Iranian communities: Tehrangeles in Westwood, Reseda, Woodland Hills, and Encino in the San Fernando Valley, Glendale, the Jewelry District in downtown L.A., and Pico-Robertson in West Los Angeles. You’ll explore beloved eateries, legacy businesses, and places of worship, protest, art, and more.

What’s included:

We encourage you to join us in supporting Iranian businesses on your tour.
