Spanish guests in Tehran

Iran is known for being one of the most civilized of the Persian nations. The country is relatively safe, peaceful, and stable. Iranian people are also noted for their warm hospitality and nature. Foreigners may receive curious looks, but this is often followed by cheery waves and attempts to strike up a conversation. A friendly Spanish bunch with Azade explored Iran in a 10-day trip and we’re so glad to hear that they had good vibes about Iran.

How to deal with unexpected during travelling

International travel can be a lot of fun. You get to explore unknown spots, meet hospitable people, and experience new cultures. But it’s a fact of life that there’s no way you can ever anticipate and plan for every possible outcome, and there is some kind of force that sometimes blocks your way and prevents those well-planned travels from happening. But you know what? Even the worst challenges can’t spoil a cool trip. Unfortunately, a few days ago something happened to Livia, however, it was not the sort of things that petrify her and keeps her from traveling. Thanks to Leila, the patient and supportive member of Uppersia team for accompanying our Brazilian guest in this adventurous journey.

Ancient Practice of Sitting on the Floor While Eating

While you’re in Iran, even sitting down can be an exotic experience. Chairs are one of the many foreign technologies that Iran has whole-heartedly adopted, but most Iranian people would prefer to sit on the floor. Sitting on the floor while eating is an ancient culture of many Asian countries. In Iran, all family members gather around traditional table cloth, also known as sofreh, which is spread on the floor during meals. As you see in this photo, this very simple ancient practice of sitting on the floor while eating is done with our European guests in a traditional guesthouse in ancient Yazd.
