Iranian Merchants

Iranian merchants historically played a vital role in trade and commerce, acting as intermediaries who facilitated the exchange of goods both within Iran and internationally. Known for their craftsmanship, negotiation skills, and deep knowledge of markets, they contributed to Iran’s cultural and economic development. These merchants often operated in bustling bazaars, or souks, which are vibrant centers of commerce and social interaction. Their influence extended beyond commerce, shaping social networks and cultural exchanges, and often embodying a tradition of entrepreneurship, adaptability, and resilience in Iran’s economic history.
