[@le13579]

Random Iran comment: A relative of mine saw a Iranian film from the 80s about Iran-Iraq war veterans in an institution. He said it was very disturbing (as the topic would be) but very good. I saw an Iranian film from the 2000s that was about a taxi driving picking people up and dropping them off; his story, their stories. It made for fascinating viewing of one facet of society. Hopefully I get there one day.

As I'm coming straight from the airport, I'll have a small bag around one of my shoulders - do you know if they allow that inside? And if not, are there any places to store it nearby? Thanks so much, can't wait to see it :)

[@UltimateBucketList]

Yes, I'm sure that will be fine. They security check you anyway before you go in. If the bag isn't allowed for some reason, they will inform you way before you get to security, and you'll just have to check it in at the nearest cloakroom. You're welcome, enjoy the Grand Mosque and check out my other videos on Abu Dhabi and Dubai when you get a chance.

I sadly didn't make the rules in this place. These are the actual rules of the place. I think the reason why is because tourists block the walkways and act like complete tourists, so they segregate areas outside of the walkways where you wont' get in anyone's way.

[@RH-vr7cs]

This is a worship place. Some people might crossed the line in the past. Not everybody is respectful to a religion that is different than theirs . Rules are Rules. I do not like tourists to disrespect the rules of my country and I will never disrespect the rules of other countries or people.

[@thisasiankidistrashfordram374]

Coz many people who hold a place Sacred & locals who regularly visit it for serious purposes would understandably be annoyed with tourists taking pictures & further clogged up space. I'm not religious whatsoever but I get why other areas are restricted. Some tourists won't be respectful of their holy place or stay quiet while they practice.
