Embark on a journey through Iran, where you’ll experience the fascinating lifestyles of its nomadic tribes: Qashqai, Baseri, Bakhtiari, Kurdish, Arab, and Shahsavan. Spending time with these nomadic communities and living alongside them in their simple yet profound way of life is like nothing you’ve ever encountered. From staying in a Siahchador (black tent) under starry skies, to milking sheep, making bread, churning mashk, and spinning wool, you’ll witness the beauty of a life shaped by nature’s rhythms. As you dress in their clothes, witness the awe-inspiring birth of a lamb, or share meals of fresh milk and dairy, fresh-baked bread, and food cooked over fire, you’ll not only gain a deeper understanding of their culture but also feel a connection to a way of life that has existed for centuries. Alongside this unforgettable cultural immersion, you’ll discover the stunning architecture and culture of Iran’s most celebrated cities (Shiraz and Isfahan), creating a journey that blends tradition, nature, and history.
