Alcohol in Iran: Is alcohol legal in Iran?

Tough Iran and specifically Shiraz, is famous for the wine and it play an important role in Iranian poets, alcoholic drinks are forbidden in this country.

As Iran is an Islamic country and drinking alcohol is illegal here and you can’t find any clubs or casinos in Iran. As your luggage will be checked with X-ray at the airport, you shouldn’t bring alcoholic drinks or liquor chocolates with you. And if you get caught while carrying or drinking alcoholic drinks, you will be punished.
The prohibition of producing or selling alcohol in Iran has caused black market which can be dangerous for your health, cause alcohol poisoning is quite common because illegal alcohol is often sub-standard.
You can place Iranian drinks such as different sharbats (traditional Iranian drinks), Dough, Chayi (Persian tea) or non-alcoholic beer.

Gambling in Iran: Are they any casinos in Iran?

Gambling is religiously forbidden in Islam, and as Iran is an Islamic country, you can’t find any casinos in the country or play games such as poker and etc. In replacement of that, if you had time and you were interested to learn a new game, we recommend you to learn “Takhte Nard” or Backgammon, the ancient Persian game which you can play in many cafes in Iran.
