17 Funny Things About Persian Culture (I Love Iran!)

We explore 17 distinctive aspects of Persian culture, including the difference between Iranians and Arabs, Farsi, Zoroastrian traditions, taarof, the Iranian calendar, weekend customs, and local driving habits. We learn about cultural gestures, nonalcoholic beer, cash-based shopping, holding hands between men, hair implants, subsidized petrol, and Iran’s many domestic airlines. We also experience Tehran’s traffic and reflect on how cultural differences make travel outside our comfort zone so rewarding.
