Iranian Tours: Follow The Balloon


In the 1980s it was the red umbrella.

And maybe for the Japanese in multi-country tour groups of Europe it still is.

But for all-women Shia Muslim tour groups from Iran, you follow the red balloon.

And as we came closer to the Ummayad Mosque in the heart of the Old City the density of red balloons and the clouds of women following got thicker and thicker.
