Has anyone been to Iran? Is it safe there?

Iran is a safe country for tourists. Iranians are very enthusiastic. When people don't know what's going on, they are always stuffed with candy. Invite me to dinner for free, and take a private car for free if you can't get a taxi.

Iran pays more attention to the relationship between men and women. Generally, men and women who are not lovers don't shake hands, just keep a distance of two or three meters and nod and say hello. ※.

Don't discuss your views on the Iranian government with ordinary people unless you are familiar with them (especially during sensitive periods such as elections). Because there are all kinds of eyes and ears everywhere in the society, it will make the other party embarrassed and worried. ※.

Express your approval or affirmation. ※! In Iran, it means the same as the middle finger.

Most shops in Iran cannot use overseas credit cards, so please bring enough cash in major currencies such as US dollars, euros and pounds. ※.

Anti-American and anti-Israel demonstrations and rallies often occur in Tehran and other places, most of which are peaceful, but it is not uncommon for them to turn into violent incidents. Please try to bypass the demonstration. ※.

Although law and order is good in most parts of Iran, sexual harassment against single female tourists is common. If you encounter a "salty pig hand" or are aware of the danger, you should leave quickly and ask others for help, which can quickly deter the harasser and get help. ※.

Public transportation in Iran is usually divided into men's and women's sections, so please be careful not to take the wrong bus when you take the subway, otherwise people in one carriage will stare at you, as if you are in the wrong toilet and want to hide your face as soon as you enter the station. ※.

If you choose to drive by car, please pay attention to driving safety. Attention here refers not only to be careful not to make mistakes, but also to pay close attention to the threat posed by other drivers. ※. Traffic chaos, speeding and retrograde are common in Iran. The death rate of car accidents has been hovering in the top two in the world for many years, and even the former Minister of Justice died in a car accident in expressway.

Many ordinary people in Iran lead a hard life. Although they are "poor tourists", travelers don't have to compete with taxi drivers and other people engaged in the service industry with a little money, especially in the case of the sharp depreciation of the rial, and many of them earn less than the rent after working all day. ※.
