Discover Nomadic Life in Iran

There are still millions of people scattered around the globe living as nomads .Iran is one of the nomad countries in the world. Moreover, Iran is so culturally and ethnically diverse that even its nomadic population is classified into different groups and tribes, the Qashqai people being, perhaps, the largest one. They are particularly famous for their weaving and their carpets, which are made from special Shiraz wool and are, therefore, brighter in color and softer in texture than the products from elsewhere in the country. Have you ever tempted to try nomadic lifestyle? Uppersia helps you to try it and stay an overnight in their tent. It sounds amazing. Isn’t it?
