Iran Tourism
Former Persia in the views of many tourists is a beautiful country, surprising with the azure of the sky, domes and national jugs, the glitter of precious stones that were owned by the shahs, and the lacework of ancient inscriptions, the tenderness of silk patterns of carpet weaving.
Unfortunately, due to the recent military events, tourism in Iran has taken a huge step backwards. Many travelers simply do not want to risk their lives by choosing other, safer countries of the East for excursions. Bold discoverers of the country will discover the most beautiful natural landscapes, exquisite cuisine and astounding beauty objects of art of ancient and modern masters..
Respect yourself and your owners
Iran imposes quite serious requirements on its guests, there are very few places for smoking here, alcohol is also not held in high esteem, an exception is made only for tourists.
The second important point is a certain wardrobe. Wearing a veil, of course, no one requires, however, dresses with long sleeves and maxi-length for women tourists are required. The same applies to the length of trousers and sleeves of shirts and men.
Living in style
Iran is ready to provide two types of hotels for tourists. Some of them are quite usual block houses for a European, with modest rooms and monotonously furnished.
The second part of the hotels is built in the traditional Iranian style - these are caravanserais. A traveler who has chosen this type of accommodation is fully immersed in the history, architecture, culture of the country, without even leaving the room. Accommodation should be booked in advance, although there are not so many guests arriving in the country, but the choice of hotels is not rich either..
Art as a gift
It is impossible to visit Iran and leave the gift. The choice of gifts from ancient Persia and works of art by modern masters is huge. Only masterpieces made of metal, wood, fabric, porcelain. None of the women will refuse a multicolored stole, colorful scarf, bedspread or porcelain service decorated with the finest patterns. A real man's gift - chasing, quite worthy of a shah or a king.
Another tourist's dream comes true here, and in his luggage there is a carefully packed real Persian carpet. There is only one difficulty - how to choose one masterpiece from a variety of options that have different colors and sizes. The same fully applies to gold jewelry, there is also an Iranian highlight - a chic combination of gold and Nishapur turquoise, no beauty can resist such a gift.
