Tehran International Puppet Theatre Festival, also known as Mobarak International Puppet Theater Festival, occurs in Tehran, Iran, every two years. It attracts leading puppeteers from all over the world to Tehran.

On the 10th day of Muharram, Ashura is the tremendous Iranian festival harmonizing with the martyrdom of Imam Hussein. The gloomy performance art known as ta’zieh rebuilds this martyrdom in the Battle of Karbala and is pervasive across cities. In the city of Khorramabad, people are immersed in the symbolic ceremonial of kharrah mali or mud rubbing.

 The Festival of Fire sees bonfires sprouting up in various public areas, in alleys, in front of homes, and sometimes parks. Chahar-Shanbeh means Wednesday, and Suri means both ‘Red’ and ‘Celebration.’ In this “red celebration,” people go out and make bush fires and keep them burning till the following day.

Many Iranians believe their ancestors’ spirits visit during the last few days of the year. People jump over the burning cinders and scream, “Oh, Chahrshanbe Suri; Give me your red color (red face color is the symbol of healthiness) and take back sickly pallor,” which is a purification ritual. It is symbolic of burning all that was terrible, pain, unhappiness, sickness, and worry, and looking forward to a new beginning.

Yalda is the longest night of the year and is renowned as a light over darkness and good over evil. This festival marks the defeat of evil. Iranians will eat melon, a variety of mixed nuts, and red fruits such as watermelon and pomegranates, symbolic of the red of dawn and the dominance of light. Visitors will find many restaurants serving dishes that involve the fruit. 

Iranians celebrate the 13th and final day of Nowruz with a bang on sizdeh bedar. ''Sizdah-'' means thirteen, and ''-bedar'' means to get rid of, i.e., "getting rid of thirteen." From ancient times, Iranian people have enjoyed this day.

Parks become swamped with families playing games, grilling kebabs, and, of course, drinking bottomless glasses of tea. It is believed that joy and laughter cleanse the mind from all evil thoughts, and a picnic is usually a festive, joyous event.

Imam Reza's holy shrine is a complex of buildings formed progressively during almost a thousand years, around which the city of Mashhad was created according to the needs of this great pilgrimage center.

Imam Reza's holy shrine is the most vital element giving identity to the urban area of Mashhad. The city is of excellent examples formed based on the ships and pilgrimage culture. It is one of the most important most visited attractions of Iran.

The Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, commonly known as the Pink Mosque, is a traditional mosque in Shiraz, Iran-one of the most beautiful mosques in Iran. With dazzling stained glass, thousands of painted tiles on the ceiling, and Persian rugs covering the floor, this place of worship is an impressive rainbow of color in every direction, like stepping into a kaleidoscope. 

Kish Island is a lovely island and tourist resort found on the northeast of the Persian Gulf (Khalij-e Fars), about 17 km (10.2 miles) from the southern offshore of mainland Iran.

Kish Island, known as the Pearl of the Persian Gulf, has 90 square km (36 sq. miles). It is known for being a stunning resort in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf.

One of the highlights of a trip to Esfahan, Iran, is its many bridges. Some of them are modern times structures, but others are historic structures. Even though the Zayande river they span may often be dry, walking down the old, typical bridges is a true enjoyment because they are free of traffic. Only motorcycles seem to be allowed to ride across. 

Qom is considered one of Iran's most sacred towns and one of Iran's best tourist attractions. It's stuffed with towering minaret spires and the greenish-blue-colored domes of totemic mosques.

One of the country's intellectual and religious hubs, it also contains several celebrated madrassahs and attracts many pilgrims throughout the year.

One of the best tourist attractions in Iran, Kashan develops from the deserts of northern Iran, nearly between Esfahan and the epicenter at Tehran. An oasis city, it’s filled with blooming pockets of date palms and green gardens. The towers are noticeably adobe and brown, though, excluding – obviously– for the stylish mansions of the Tabatabaie Residence, the Ameri House, and the tops of Aqabozorg. 

The City of Yazd is located in the middle of the Iranian plateau, 270 km southeast of Isfahan, close to the Spice and Silk Roads.

The adobe building of the Yazd ancient city is like something out of Arabian Nights. From place to place, turrets covered with gold in complicated geometric patterns loft above the mosque vaults; the fragrance of incense and mint tea complex circumstances from the cafes.

Tehran is the capital city of Iran. A bustling municipality of 14 million people, it is located at the foot of the towering Alborz mountain range.

Remarkable memorials like the Azadi Tower have been constructed in this place. At the same time, the shining marvels of the Treasury of the National Jewels and the mummified princes of the National Museum of Iran are only several of the magnificent remains to watch.
