Question for anyone who has been to Tehran...

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Does this video appear to have been shot in Tehran?

Just curious. Thanks.

Would an organizer please move this to MENA?

I saw this earlier but I have no idea if it was shot in Tehran. However, Arabic rap is hardly a new thing.

P.S. I have no idea what these boys are saying.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

They don't speak Arabic in Iran.

Thanks though. I was just wondering if the video was shot in Tehran or elsewhere.

I will ask a friend of mine about this video -- he will know.

There are many Iranian girls who wear rather tight fitting clothes, as well as makeup, and look quite modern and fashionable, even though they are technically "covered." This look for young women and teenage girls has become pretty common in many of the larger cities of the Middle East -- you also see it in Palestine and in Jordan -- rathe rtight jeans, rather form-fitting tops, lots of makeup, and high heels. I've noticed 3/4 sleeves are starting to become more visible in the urban areas, too. Most Iranian girls *do* of course cover their hair, but quite a few "push the envelope" there -- more than most other Muslim countries -- wearing their scarves back on the crown of their heads, with their hair showing around the face. All (or most) of the neck and especially all of the upper chest will be covered, though. I had some pics with some examples of what I'm talking about, but I can't find where I put them right now.

Well it's possible they could still get in trouble, depending on where they are -- and even from their own families, if they are very conservative. But lots of women and teenage girls in Tehran are wearing this type of outfit in public and don't seem scared at all. I will find the pics and post them.

Been to Tehran. Seems to be Tehran from the opening shot. The view is to the north of Tehran where there are hills.

Iran Dress Code - I was in Iran (am female).

Items permissable to wear:

Scarf - any color, any pattern

****Iranian women do flaunt the law and like to wear their scarfs far back from their forhead. Thus only partially covering their heads. But they can get into trouble with the police.

Manteau - this is three-quarter length cotton jacket (can fall anywhere from upper thigh to knee length).

***Some women where their manteau's very form fitting, ie, tailored. This can be a problem with police if it is extremely tight.

Jeans/trousers - permissable. In Tehran, which is more tolerant than other cities, you can see women wearing capri pants. However, again, you can get a sharp word or rebuke from of police official.

Skirts - permissable only if ankle length. Knee length or mid calf length, not allowed.

High heels - acceptable

The use of color in wardrobe - Iranian women tend to dress in neutral, sober colors (black, white, brown, blue, tan). If you were to wear color (bright or intense colors) even in loose fitting clothing, it is noticed that you may be either a rebel or a foreigner. Colorful scarfs, handbags are a less attention-calling way of using color.

Iranian women tend to wear their hair "big" (teased) and like to use a lot of make up.
