Iranian Nomads

Nomads’ Lifestyle

Iranian Nomads : The proximity of fertile plains mountains in Iran facilitate the translucence of nomads between summer and winter meadows and pasture in search of grazing for their animals. In such a setting several different tribes of nomads live whose unique lifestyle, colorful costume and distinctive textile have long been a source of attraction for visitors seeking a delightful opportunity to witness the remaining of nomadic migrations.

In their annual or seasonal migrations nomads move from their winter resort location to summer grazing lands along with their animals and move back to their winter resort locations again when it gets cold. From dozens of different tribes Bakhtiyari and Qashqai nomads are more famous for their origins,their set of clothes, their tribal structure and traditions and for the scenic beauty of their camping sites.
