The Iranian plateau today is a land surrounded by high mountains and spotted by warm lowlands. Two important mountain ranges, each with peaks over 5,000 meters high, stretch from the northwestern corner of the plateau, the current Azerbaijan province, to the south and east. The eastern branch, Alborz, boasts the highest peak of the two ranges, Mt. Damavand. The Alborz range creates a high barrier south of the Caspian Sea, making serious impacts on the climate of the plateau. While lush forests and pastures abound south of the Caspian and give it a mild, humid weather, the Alborz prevents the passing of the rain-rich clouds to the inside of the plateau, causing very low rainfall, and thus creating a dry and mostly warm climate south of the mountains.

In Iran the lower status person issues the first greeting. In the reverse logic of ta’arof this means that a person who wants to be polite will make a point of this, using the universal Islamic salaam or the extended salaam aleikum. The universal phrase for leave-taking is khoda hafez —”God protect.” Greetings tend to be affectionate. Men kiss other men and women kiss other women at social events. If they meet on the street, a handshake is the more common greeting, not the opposite sex. The most common greeting amongst Iranians is “salaam alaykum” or more simply “salaam” (peace).
Physical contact between members of the opposite sex is assiduously avoided except between relatives. When being introduced to Iranians you may find that introductions are restricted to members of the same sex since it is often the custom for men and women to socialize separately.
It is good form to offer a portion of what one is about to eat to anyone nearby, even if they show no interest. One sees this behavior even in very small children. It is polite to refuse such an offer, but the one making the offer will be sensitive to the slightest hint of interest and will continue to press the offer if it is indicated.
If you are invited to an Iranian’s house then you should check to see if the host is wearing shoes. If not, remove yours at the door. On arrival, you should expect to be shown into the guests’ room. You should also try to arrive at the invited time as punctuality in Iran is appreciated.
The vast majority of Iranians are Shi’a Muslims, important religious minorities have always played an important role in Iranian life. Zoroastrians date back to the Achaemenid Empire more than two thousand years ago.
Many people like to visit the wonderful array of mosques in Iran. However it is important to take note of some basic mosque etiquette. The main custom for visiting a mosque in Iran is to remove your shoes before going inside on the carpet. If unsure just observe others and follow them. It is also another custom in mosques in Iran to dress modestly so that your body and limbs are covered. Women must cover their hair and not expose anything above their ankles. Men should not wear shorts. In some mosques the caretaker provides visitors with a long robe when their clothes are inappropriate for the mosque.
You should not talk loudly in a mosque as this is a place of worship. If someone is praying, do not under any circumstances walk directly in front of them. Many people will not appreciate having their pictures taken during worship.
All the food in Iran as an Islamic country are halal and alcohol is not allowed to serve in any places.

Everyone realizes why a new common language would be desirable: one could refuse to pay expensive translators. To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar, pronunciation and more common words.
