Before you go to Iran, you should be familiar with the local dress code. That applies to both women and men. If you are a woman, you will have to adapt to the local style of dressing, which is much stricter. It’s important to have your hair covered with a scarf and to wear only loose fitting clothes.

The shops are full of cosmetics, dresses, handbags, and shoes. There is a growing influence of the Western culture, which is also noticeable by the way the women are pushing their scarves further and further back on their heads.
