Mindful meoweler tips

Respect the conservative culture

As cats, visitors should cover their fur and avoid wearing revealing outfits. Public displays of affection are also frowned upon.

Try Jiroft's famous Halva

Jiroft is known for its sweet halva made from sesame flour and sugar. Try it at a local bakery or market.

Visit the ancient city of Konar Sandal

Konar Sandal is home to ancient ruins, including a ziggurat believed to be 5000 years old. It's a must-visit for history buffs.

Learn some Farsi phrases

Learning some Farsi phrases will go a long way in connecting with the locals and showing respect for their culture.

Experience a Persian bathhouse

Visiting a traditional Persian bathhouse, or 'hammam', is a cultural experience not to be missed. It's a great way to relax and unwind after a long day of sightseeing.
