Circuit de l’Hospitalité Iranienne

Iranian Hospitality Tour Introduction

Hospitality is often defined as a host’s relationship with their guests and their behavior towards them. Iranians have been strictly devoted to hospitality since old times. They are friendly and sociable people, whose hospitality is appreciated by all those that have traveled to Iran. The traditions of Iranian hospitality are proven to be rooted way back into the history of Iran. Iranians have long been following a set of guidelines in their social behavior, some of which are based on morality and the others on religious beliefs. The famous Iranian hospitality can be experienced even in the most remote villages and at the house of poor families. This fact is even visible on some of the ancient rock reliefs of Persepolis. This Iranian virtue has become fairly famous and is one of the reasons many travelers choose to visit Iran besides its diverse tourist attractions.

There are certain rules that both the hosts and the guests follow during a traditional Persian gathering. However, your host understands that there are cultural differences and therefore doesn’t expect you to follow all of the Iranian hospitality rules.

Traveling through Iran, one of the things you may often hear is “Welcome to Iran. You’ll be welcome to come to my house for lunch/dinner.” However surprising it may seem, all these invitations are merely due to Iranian hospitality. This famous part of the Persian culture can be seen in every part of Iran and even some neighboring countries.

During your Iranian hospitality tour, you will have the best possible experience of the world-famous Iranian hospitality. Even though there are some rules for behavior when invited to someone’s house, as a foreigner no one expects you to follow them all and won’t be offended by your probable mistakes. In addition, Iranians believe that guests should be highly respected.
