9. Boundary Issues
One traveler who stayed with locals while traveling through the country said that the people’s hospitality can be a little overwhelming at times. They’re just looking out for you, but you can still expect to be mothered to a good degree as they’ll happily tell you to not go out when it’s cold or wait for your drink to cool. It’s actually quite flattering; it just means they care.
10. Expect to Get Stared At
This is nothing against the Iranian people; they simply observe different customs. From a social standpoint, Iranians have a much closer-knit society. Families live together for a long time, and they regularly participate closely in each other’s lives. Iranians are a curious, social people who happily apply these same standards to visitors. So, expect to have your oddness be worthy of a little gawking.
