Nomads’ Glory

To best understand Iran and its people, one must first attempt to acquire an understanding of its ancient culture. Iran cultural tours are in the study of this area where the Iranian identity optimally expresses itself. Hence the first sentence of prominent Iranologist Richard Nelson Frye’s latest book on Iran reads: “Iran’s glory has always been its culture”. Besides the rich culture, you will find Persian nomads in Iran cultural tours with Iran Tour Package.
