Iran is a country of many prejudices. Many consider it a dangerous and controversial destination. How does Tomáš Kubuš, a traveler and blogger who has been exploring the country since 2008, view this country? He considers Iran to be one of the safest countries in the world for tourists. "Iran still has a reputation as a bad country. Many things happened there in the 20th century, and many things that the West did not agree with, Iran did in its own way. It is still a bad country in terms of image, but the reality on the ground is completely different." Tomáš was so fascinated by this country that he has been returning to it repeatedly for 13 years. "Iran in 2008 and in 2019 is not the same country. The openness and more liberal vision of Iran are now more noticeable. There is pressure for change." In the interview, you will learn what interesting stories he has had with local people, how you can get alcohol, even though it is prohibited there, or why you need to bargain at bazaars. Women's rights were also a big topic of conversation. And what about clothing, education, or women's driving in Iran? "In Iran, women drive cars, they are taxi drivers, they even have their own women's taxi service when a woman doesn't want to go with a man." According to Tomáš, Iranians are very hospitable and friendly to tourists. They are a very proud nation, and if someone calls them Arabs, they get offended. "The worst thing a person can do is come to Iran and say: it's nice here, I love Arab countries. There will be a huge silence. Iranians are Persians. You are an Arab, that's an insult to them." You will learn all this and much more in the latest episode of zmUPováné s Sima. #Iran #travel #TomášKubuš Hosted by Sima Ondrušková / simonaondruskova Tomáš Kubuš https://www.streetfoodhunters.com 00:00 First trip to Iran 02:49 Is Iran a safe country? 06:17 Islam 09:10 Dresscode 13:31 Women's rights 18:56 The difference between Arab countries and Iran 27:26 Marital relations 30:03 Education 33:21 Alcohol and drugs 36:39 Gastronomy 40:18 Transportation 42:52 Iranian hospitality 47:08 Recommendations ????
