TRADITIONAL NOMAD WEDDING OF THE QASHQA'I PEOPLE

Our next stop on our Iran Food Tour brought us to a temporary settlement of the Qashqai People. The Qashqai people in Iran practice pastoral nomadism and are descendants of Turks, Lurs, Kurds, Arabs, Persians and Gypsies who settled in Iran during the 11th and 12th century. It is said that the group amounts to 400,000 people that have traveled the deserts of Southwest Iran for hundreds of years.
