Hi, My name is Reyhaneh. Tipping is common in my country, but it depends on where and to whom you leave tipthe tip. People leave tip totips in restaurants, to waitresses, to car mechanics, electricians or anyone else who works as a laborer.

Iran, as a rule, has no tipping policy. peoplePeople decide for themselves how much to give as a tip. If people are satisfied with the work of a worker or the food of a restaurant, they will give a good tip to the workers or waiters. I think it is a very good tothing to give tiptips to such people, because in Iran workers or waiters have low salaries and tiptips help them a lot. But, unfortunately, tipping the police is very common in Iran when people commit a crime while driving. Giving a tip to doctors and nurses to do your jobso they assist you sooner or better is also very common in Iran.

Sometimes people who are very rich and go to a fancy restaurant compete for a tip forwhen tipping the waiters, and whoever gives more tipthe waiters the waitershighest tip is proud of themselves.

Iran is a tourist countrydestination and those who show the city to touristswork as a guideguides expect ato receive good tiptips from tourists, andso if you give them a small tip as a tourist, you may make them angry. So if you travel to Iran as a tourist, remember to give a good tip to the guides, otherwise you will
upset them and make them angry.
