Get Prepared for the Squat Toilet

An important tip you must know before travelling to Iran is that Iranians often use squat toilets. Most of the hotels and traditional guesthouses have a flush toilet and you can find it at some cafes and restaurants and even many modern houses, but public toilets have squat toilets. If you are too sensitive about this and can only use a flush toilet, you should probably check with the hotel you are going to, to see if they have a flush toilet or not. No worries, they mostly have.

Or, maybe it is time to give it a shot. It is not that difficult to use. Here is a guide for how to use a squat toilet. Bear in mind that you may not find toilet paper in every public place. Iranians wash themselves with water and if available, dry themselves with toilet paper. So, if concerned, take some toilet paper with you. You can find toilet paper in every mini-market in cities.
