Man, they are far more secular than our society in a lotta ways. No irani does suicide bombing. We never hear shia sunni fighting there despite 20% sunni population. We also never hear Christy X-Tian fighting mainstream muslim and they got like 2 million Armenians living there. Same on anti-Jewish violence. Never heard of it.
The main issue in Iran is this hijab issue and no bars/ alcohol and night clubs/ casinos and all the fun things to do, so the tourists don't wanna go there.
I just saw pics of my friends trip to Egypt, and the nice areas of Cairo/ Alexandria those ferry trips on the nile boats down to Abu Simbal.......Damn bro, Egypt has done an awesome job on its tourism sector.
I would choose Egypt over Iran in two milli seconds if I were to choose where to vacation.
