Casual Is Not Their Style
Iranians believe that ties represent Western culture. This attitude followed a change in administration in 1979. At a job interview, you’re unlikely to see anybody wearing a tie. The government believes that Islamic clothing eliminate all differences, including social and ethnic divisions. This is true for both girls and women. Females above the age of nine must wear a head covering called a hijab in public. This regulation applies to tourists as well.

Taarof is an Iranian tradition that includes courteous conduct toward others. Taarof means “coming together,” and it is a behavior that demonstrates a person’s lack of greed. If they give you anything, you must decline twice. If they continue to offer it to you a third time, you may accept. Taarof is mostly concerned with how visitors are treated. So, if you are asked to a dinner in an Iranian household, be sure to decline twice, even if you are hungry. Wait until the third offer before accepting the first. Perhaps you’re wondering what happens if there isn’t a third offer. Don’t worry, that won’t happen. Iranians will not let you go hungry.
