The featured photo shows one of the school groups, in this case of adults, who stopped me to chat. They wanted to practice their English, but they were also very curious and friendly.

Iran is culturally very rich being basically the heir to one of the most important empires in history, the Persian Empire. In this link you can learn more about it.
