Attend a Local Music Night in Qeshm, Iran: Feel the Soul of the Island

If you ever wonder what it really means to travel with locals in Iran, let me tell you about one of the sweetest hidden gems of Iran, a local music night in Qeshm.

It’s late evening on this island in the Persian Gulf. The salty breeze from the sea mixes with the smell of fresh bread and tea. Your local guide, who feels more like an old friend, leads you through narrow sandy paths to a simple, cozy eco-lodge. Inside, colorful carpets cover the floor, lanterns throw warm light on smiling faces, and the soft rhythm of drums fills the air.

Here, you don’t just watch, you join in. The elders start with ancient songs that tell stories of the sea, the wind, the fisherfolk. The younger ones play the daf, clap their hands, and invite you to try. Your feet tap, your hands move, you laugh because you’re not just a visitor, you’re living like a citizen for one night.

This is what cultural immersion feels like. There’s no stage. There are no tickets. Just people, tea, music, and a night that flows naturally. These island nights are an authentic Iran nature in sound, raw, real, and alive.

Between songs, you sip strong black tea and taste fresh dates. The host shares stories about how music has always been part of island life, from weddings to fishing trips. You ask questions, they answer with smiles. This is your local experience, your hidden gem of Iran, your moment to truly connect.

In the morning, you might join your guide for an Iran walking tour through the island’s fishing villages. You greet the sea at sunrise, hear the same songs in your head, and feel a little changed, in the best way.

When you choose this sustainable and green travel moment, you help local families keep their culture alive. You’re not just a guest, you’re part of the music, the story, the night.

So, if you want your Iran trip to be more than just photos, if you want it to be real, local, and full of soul, come join a local music night in Qeshm with Friendly Iran.

Travel with locals. Live like a citizen. Bring home a song in your heart. 

Iran nuclear deal and the future of tourism

 You may have heard a lot of news about the nuclear negotiation between Iran and the 5+1 assembly. The result of this negotiation and the decisions that are made by political heads will take care of Iranians’ fortune and perhaps the future of many countries all around the world. Presumably, history will judge the final decision!!! However, this decision will have a strong influence on the economy, political relationships, cultural, and touristic aspects of the whole world.

Let’s accept this truth that without boundaries that make countries of different names and people with different originalities, whatever exists in the world belong to Him, and we are all a big family. Iran is a country willing to be friendly, however, these days some of his brothers and sisters are cruel to her. History and civilization have included all of us. Perhaps our ancestors were thinking about bringing peace and equality in the world while they were building Persepolis 2500 years ago. Perhaps they were trying to keep human dignity safe and establish a world without slavery with their art and intelligence. These people would have never thought of being forgotten by the rest of their families. It is not hard to follow if we say that apart from all around the world is included in Iran. A country that is the source of primary civilizations and natural attractions will for sure be a good target for the tourism industry. This industry will remind us that whenever we are tired of routine life, we can travel around the world and without any distortion help our minds find their peace in nature. We can perceive the glory of our ancestors in monuments and fragments. We can also have a smile from our brothers and sisters of long distances in our pictures. By doing so, we will find family everywhere and the most relaxing place ever.

Nowadays, there is a wrong image made about Iran outside of its geographical boundaries. You can find any reason and excuse in Iran that will make you willing to go to a country. If you are interested in nature, you will find the four seasons in this country. Considering herbal and animal species and all of the geological and biological sections, Iran is a rich valuable country. In this country, you will experience great forests on the north side, vast islands on the south side, mountains covered with snow on the west, and great desserts in its center. Whatever city and province you choose to visit in this country, you may not miss visiting monuments with thousands of years of history with a special architecture that you will see nowhere else in the world. Even if you can not stay for long, visiting cities like Shiraz, Tehran, Isfahan, and Yazd will suffice to see my words. You will experience ethnic food, clothing, architecture, music, and artificial man-made crafts in every city of this country so numerous that you will be truly excited. Unfortunately, having these privileges, Iran couldn’t have the chance to be the house of many members of the great family, however, those who have tried visiting this country have changed completely positively toward it. Eventually, Iran has not been justly presented to the ears all around the world.

Maybe if there weren’t any political trends around the world, people could have experienced a better significance of the word “family”. “Rick Steves” the American adventurous movie director, has changed his view about Iran after his travel to this country. In the story he wrote about the time he had traveled to Iran, we will read that he was waiting for men with knives and guns in the plane, while he saw calm civilized people sitting next to each other. Tehran, the capital city of Iran, was just like other capitals around the world. He said that he could see the culture and magnificent architecture in Isfahan, and feel the glory of ancient civilization in Persepolis. He mentioned people who were smiling and were eager to start a conversation with you. He says that statesmen will come and go but people will always stay. We hope that whatever decision is made after these negotiations, there comes a time when all the brothers and sisters around the world will gather together in our country just the way it has once carved on Persepolis walls. We hope people will see Iran as part of their own history that is waiting for its family.
