23 Jun Iran’s Rich Culture

Iran’s rich cultural and ethnical background diversifies into a wealthy multiethnic society of Persians, Azeris, Kurds, Baluchis, Lors, Turks and Arabs who all share the unifying Iranian identity.

There are around a million nomads in Iran today belonging to the Qashqa’i and Bakhtiyari tribes of Turkic origin, as well as groups of Kurds, Lors, Baluchis and smaller groups such as the khamseh of Bavanat, who migrate through challenging routes between Summer and Winter, travelling through desert and mountain passes that provides water and shelter.

The resilient nomadic women often don magnificent and colorful layered dresses and wonderful jewelry.

Truly beautiful!
