Question

Are female foreigners visiting Iran on holidays expected to wear head coverings?

Answer 1

yep,but not the way u might see in TV.i live in Persia and all u need to do wear is a scarf or sth like that to cover your hair and also u should wear a dress that cover most of your body.

but believe me it's not very hard and also normal people are different from people in government u might have seen on TV.come and see for yourself.:))

anyway,have a good journey

Answer 2

I don't believe so, though many do to fit in. From what I've heard it isn't the biggest deal. You may find you're more comfortable though with one. Just keep yourself open to the idea.

Answer 3

It s perfectly OK to parade yourself around the streets of Tehran wearing a micro mini and a boob tube providing that you have a large illuminated target attached to your head.Don't forget to pack a body bag.

Answer 4

yes and its not about fitting in. those answerers before me sound like they have no idea wut theyre talking about

Answer 5

All women in Iran disregard of their religion, nationality, race, age..... HAVE to cover their head and wear covered outfits due to  the Islamic rules of the country

Answer 6

Not really as a rule but just expected as the norm because it would be kinda disrespectful to not do so, i would just to be on the safe side and not stand out.

Answer 7

Yes, unfortunately. Iran is a very strict muslim country and they expect their foreign visitors to respect their customs to the letter, even if they don't follow the "when in Rome do as the Romans do" principle when in Britain
