As a Saudi, this documentary made me realize how much we share in common with our Iranian brothers and sisters, i wish our nations could unite, understand and sympathize with each other .

[WillBuryU]

I've learned more in 44 minutes about Iran then I've known in the last 57 years. Thank you Rick.

[hassanjafari]

As an Iranian, I am truly impressed by your video as you managed to project an actual image of the Iranian people and culture.

Dear Rick Steves,
My 8 year old half-Persian identical twin girls (born in the U.S. and never been to Iran) BEG to watch this episode of yours over and over. We’ve seen it more times than i can count. They keep asking “when can we visit Iran?!” My heart aches. Because as much as i yearn to go (i haven’t been back since i was 7), i know it can’t be anytime soon. And so we live vicariously through this video of yours, Rick Steves. Thank you for showing the world who the Iranian people truly are. Iranians love you.

The hospitality of iranian people nearly bought tear to my eyes.

[jesusislord]

It's refreshing to see a credible report that doesn't demonize Iran and it's people, and advocates for peace between Iran and the US. Thanks Rick.

Youtube why are recommending me these amazing pieces of content 9 years after they’re published???
These documentaries need more attention!

[davidkroll]

The hospitality of the Iranian people is ( or should be ) known throughout the world. They are the most kind people I've ever met and I've been thru much of the world. The birthday cake they gave him, is an small example of their kindness. God bless them !

Beautiful gorgeous ancient country, great piece, thank you! I hope it will not be destroyed like beautiful Syria

I am American but I stand for the people of Iran

[AlHarthyAbdullah]

As an Omani 🇴🇲 i love Iran as a Muslim country. In Oman We are brought up and raised only as Muslims without feeding this poisonous sectarian divide . In my country you’ll never be asked about your sect or religion as long as you respect everyone else. This documentary about Iran is very helpful and amazing. I wish one day i will visit this great & lovely country ❤

[gabrielerge]

I’m far from politics, for me Persia is the country of great ancient culture, homeland of magnificent poets and philosophers, thanks Rick for the interesting story. Blessed are the peacemakers...

[laarnideloria]

Iran has a rich history, culture and I watch this video I can say that Iranians are friendly and welcoming people....they have awesome smiles😊, if given a chance to travel the world, Iran is part of my bucket were misunderstood and judged by others, , countries around the world all have the negative and positive side, so as Iran....we're all the same...

I am Iranian and this video made me cry. Because in 2017 we still rely on government to tell us how we should act towards other cultures. The more we learn about each other the more we find out how similar we are. I am so happy that Rick made this video it's his best one yet.
