operator, share important notes to know before you travel to Iran.
1. Avoid greeting opposite sex with a handshake
If you are a man you shouldn’t shake hands with
women and vice versa. Handshaking is only between men or between women,
especially in public.
2. Bring your camera to Iran
You can capture the moments of your travel by taking
social photos of individuals .But you might want to ask the people before
taking photos of them as it may not be appreciated by some locals.
3. Forget about renting a car
Traffic in major cities of Iran is considerable, and
Iranians’ driving style can be quite adventurous, so rent a car only if you
feel confident and have an international driver’s license.
4. Put your
international bank cards at home
The tourists
who travel to Iran cannot use, major credit cards like Visa and Master Card or
to withdraw any cash from ATM machines in the country. So the travelers must
bring only cash for their entire stay. Also, it is easily possible to get a
type of Iranian debit card (prepaid) which can be used all around the country.
5. Stick to the Iranian dress codes
A modest dress code is all what you need to consider for
clothing in Iran. For women, a pair of lose pants or skirt, a long sleeve shirt
and a head scarf is perfect. For men, generally, shorts and ties are not worn
in public. A pair of lose pants or jeans with T-shirt is recommended.
