Phenomenal Religious Ritual And Remarkable Traditional Ceremonies   The Friday Prayer As the most pivotal religious ritual, originated at the dawn of Islam, the Friday Prayer also has unceasingly congregated millions of people throughout the Islamic Republic of Iran in the post-revolution years.

Migration of The Nomadic Tribes Until the 9th Century AD the ancient Arab geographers referred only to a few "tent-dwelling tribes" who were the inhabitants of the Zagros, a western mountain range in Iran. Unfortunately, however, a backward trend in the village life began around the turn of the 9th Century AD mainly due to the influx of Turk tent-dwellers and the process of course reached its peak soon after the devastating invasion of" The Moguls" in the 12th Century AD. One after another, the cities and villages were deliberately obliterated and instead the "Black Tents" of the migrating nomads were soon set up throughout the vast Iranian plateau. The long and labourious journey of a few nomadic tribes in pursuit of the distant pastures across the western and southern regions of the country can still be seen, particularly during the beginning of the cold and hot seasons. The intact and picturesque migration ritual(s) of the foresaid tribes along with their authentic and beautiful style of living not only constitute an ideal magnet for the country's tourism, but also can provide exceptional themes for the interested orientalists and photographers -- domestic and foreign alike.
