Tour Description

Bushehr is a seaside city interwoven with traditional music. From the little boy playing in the alleys to the older man fishing at the Persian Gulf, they all know how to sing, dance, and play tunes through the warm days of the south. Moreover, the Koocheh music festival brings forth the opportunity for us to feel like a local in Bushehr for a few days. Music is in the heart of the city by many famous and traditional music bands coming to Bushehr to play tunes one after another.

In IranAmaze We hold hands and walk through the alleys singing songs and hearing native instruments through the starry nights. Groups are playing magical sounds in all the cafes across town. Once we get tired of walking, we get to sip on some Persian tea and listen to a group of mothers singing lullabies for us or a group of children playing Ney-anbān and singing Bushehri songs. So, it will be a night that will echo in our Iran tour mind and heart for a while after we leave Bushehr.
