Cultural Background
During Nowruz, the 'Barname-ye Safar' often revolves around visiting elders (Did-o-Bazdid) in different cities. For pilgrimages to Mashhad or Qom, the 'Barname-ye Safar' includes specific times for prayer and visiting shrines. Younger Iranians use apps like SnappTrip to manage their 'Barname-ye Safar' digitally. A 'Barname-ye Safar' is often considered a 'suggestion' rather than a rule, as spontaneous invitations from locals are common.
