Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Iran have a great history and have interesting culture!. Iran also have wonderful art and delicious cuisine!.

The reason is:

****Great History:
After the Islamic conquest of Persia, Iran was annexed into the Arab Umayyad Caliphate!. But the Islamization of Iran was to yield deep transformations within the cultural, scientific, and political structure of Iran's society:

The blossoming of Persian literature, philosophy, medicine and art became major elements of the newly-forming Muslim civilization!. Culturally, politically, and religiously, the Iranian contribution to this new Islamic civilization is of immense importance!. Indeed, the culmination of Iran caused the "Islamic Golden Age"

****Interesting Culture:
After Islamicization of Iran Islamic rituals have penetrated in the Iranian culture!. The most noticeable one of them is commemoration of Husayn ibn Ali!. Every year in Day of Ashura most of Iranians, including Armenians and Zoroastrians participate in mourning for the martyrs of battle of Karbala!. Daily life in modern Iran is closely interwoven with Shia Islam and the country's art, literature, and architecture are an ever-present reminder of its deep national tradition and of a broader literary culture

****Wonderful art:
The art of carpet weaving in Iran has its roots in the culture and customs of its people and their instinctive feelings!. Weavers mix elegant patterns with a myriad of colors!. The Iranian carpet is similar to the Persian garden: full of florae, birds, and beasts

Painting in Iran is thought to have reached a climax during the Tamerlane era when outstanding masters such as Kamaleddin Behzad gave birth to a new style of painting!.

Paintings of the Qajar period, are a combination of European influences and Safavid miniature schools of painting such as those introduced by Reza Abbasi!. Masters such as Kamal-ol-molk, further pushed forward the European influence in Iran!. It was during the Qajar era when "Coffee House painting" emerged!. Subjects of this style were often religious in nature depicting scenes from Shia epics and the like!.

Since centuries, Iranian art has developed particular patterns designed to decorate Iranian produced craft!. These motifs can be :

* Inspired by ancestral nomad tribes (such as geometrical motifs used in kilims or gabbehs)!.
* Islam influenced, with an advanced geometrical research!.
* Oriental based, also found in India or Pakistan!.

****Delicious cuisine:
The main Persian cuisines are combinations of rice with meat, chicken or fish and some onion, vegetables, nuts, and herbs!. Herbs are frequently used along with fruits such as plums, pomegranates, quince, prunes, apricots, and raisins!. To achieve a balanced taste, characteristic Persian flavourings such as saffron, dried limes, cinnamon, and parsley are mixed delicately and used in some special dishes!. Onions and garlic are normally used in the preparation of the accompanying course, but are also served separately during meals, either in raw or pickled form!. Iranian food is not spicy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
