Iran is one of the oldest continuously inhabited civilizations in the world, and its modern-day culture is enriched by centuries of tradition. Years of trade, conquest, and invasion have created a unique culture with countless influences from far and wide, resulting in a strong national identity and a culture rich in symbolism. Religion plays an important role in many aspects of Iranian society, including the legal and educational systems, dress, marriage, architecture, the arts, and the media, all of which are deeply affected by it. As Iran is an Islamic nation, visitors can expect to see the hallmarks of Islam throughout the country, with mosques, the call to prayer, dress codes, and the observance of Ramadan being the most easily noticed. Although Iran's population is largely young and urban-centered, the rich Persian artistic traditions remain very much alive in contemporary Iran, and much of the elaborate architecture, cuisine, handicrafts, and popular poetry have their origins in ancient Persia. Iranian hospitality is world-famous, and guests are often deeply moved by the sincerity, politeness, and generosity of their Iranian hosts. We intend to show you Iranian culture and customs and take you through the history and civilization of Iran. This tour can be arranged as an 8-day private tour for you or even for a group of friends. It is a road trip across Iran, exploring the most important cities such as Tehran, Kashan, Isfahan, Yazd, and Shiraz, while experiencing Persian hospitality, enjoying Persian family dinners, visiting and staying with local families, and exploring UNESCO World Heritage sites as well as UNESCO intangible and cultural heritage.
