Is Shiraz safe for solo female travelers?

Shiraz generally exhibits a welcoming culture and Iranians are known for their warm hospitality. Women travelers should adhere to the dress code and cover heads with a scarf. Few locals speak English, so communication could be challenging. As a precaution, avoid walking around alone at night in less crowded areas. Although rare, harassment can occur, so be aware of your surroundings. Most of the tourist attractions are safe during daylight hours. However, unaccompanied women may face occasional stares or interactions that could be perceived as uncomfortable. Be mindful of customs and cultural sensitivities to ensure a peaceful and pleasant travel experience.
