Regardless of the history between Iran and other countries, Iranians are relatively nice and happy to see tourist and love interacting with them. The Tehran Peace Museum is located in Tehran, Iran. The museum is a tribute to the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988). The Iran–Iraq War began when Iraq invaded Iran via air and land on 22 September 1980. The cause of this war was over the Shatt al Arab, a water way that empties into the Persian Gulf and creates a bounty between the two countries. The museum captures the war and you actually feel like you experienced the war yourself with the vivid imagery they show. There are permanent and rotating peace-related art exhibitions, displaying the work of amateur international and Iranian artists and children's drawings on display.

If war history and beautiful greenery is what interests you and you like having a since of comfort and welcomed in with open arms, this is definitely the country to travel to. The people are lovely, the scenery and details in this country are outstanding, and it has amazing history everywhere you go. So get your ticket and passport today and head to Iran today.
