Iran is home to various nomadic tribes, each with its own distinct traditions and artistic expressions. Nomadic performances, characterized by energetic dances and tribal music, encapsulate the nomads’ nomadic way of life.

The country’s vast geographical expanse has given rise to a plethora of regional performances, each infused with the unique flavors of local culture.

From captivating folk dances to rhythmic music, these performances often narrate tales of love, heroism, and cultural pride. The performers, adorned in exquisite traditional attire, bring to life the essence of Iranian identity, allowing spectators to connect with the roots of the nation.

As mentioned by organizers, the 44th edition of the International Tourism Trade Fair, FITUR, is set to reflect the growth experienced in recent months by the national and international tourism industry and lays the foundations for the consolidation of the sector during 2024.
