SHIRAZ,IRAN - APRIL 28: Ghashghai women in traditional dress dance in a group while spinning colorful scarves in their hands, during a wedding ceremony on the plains near Shiraz on the 28th of April 2006. Ghashghai (also spelled Qashqai, Qashqay, Kashgai and Qashqa'i) are a tribal confederation of clans of Turkic origin in Iran. They mainly live in the provinces of Fars, Khuzestan and southern Isfahan, but especially around the city of Shiraz in Fars.The Qashqai were originally nomadic pastoralists and some remain so today. The traditional nomadic Qashqai travelled with their flocks each year from the summer highland pastures north of Shiraz roughly 480 km or 300 mi south to the winter pastures on lower (and warmer) lands near the Persian Gulf, to the southwest of Shiraz.
