10 Things You Must Know Before Visit Iran!

9-The Hijab Rule

Yes, it is mandatory in Iran to cover your head. Even when you are a tourist. As a tourist you should always dress modestly in Muslim countries but it is a first country I had to cover my head, even inOman where women were full chador.We all know that I’m way too independent and a rebel to wear a chador. And I must admit I haven’t met many woman travellers going for this option; but there were many with hijab.I went just for modest dressing and a scarf. I did all that with my own sense of fashion of course! Colours where flashing all over my clothes, and it was not a problem for anybody.Woman in Iran are very stylish and they try to express themselves with clothes as much as possible. Colourful scarfs, stylish “manteau” which are kind of an overcoat. It is not uncommon to see hair exposed under small loose fitting scarves. And after observing women in Iran I went that way as well, with almost all my hair uncovered.I had no problems with wearing a scarf and I kind of liked the whole thing. I’m a tourist and it was interesting experience and I knew it has an end date.
