      Its an arab thing to kiss on cheeks when they're greeting eachother and abadan and ahwaz peaple are mixed arab persian...not all arabs do that "kiss" but some do
      Also first he sain
      "Friends..buddies"
      Then he said "they will come and pick you up now just stay here".

    BTW he said " friend, buddy" just the moment he kissed you 3 TIMES.

      Wagner, use key words of "Abadan Brezilete" or Abadan=Brazil and you find lots of videos. We ABadanis love Brazil footbal team and our official colors are those of Brazil flag.
      Abadan, Brezilete means Abadan the Brazil (of the footbal). Our local Footbal team is called "San'at Naft Abadan" which translates to Abadan Oil Industries. Abadan used to have the largest oil Refinery in the world. ( ruclips.net/video/1ik0oeYRYXs/видео.html ) ( ruclips.net/video/EZj-XCHR0JA/видео.html )

    Man, you have been travelling through the most strange regions for an international visitor in Iran. I'm from Shiraz and I'm surprised that you are going to skip Shiraz!!! Shiraz is one of the most visited tourist detonations in Iran. I have never been to those regions myself. I greatly admire the adventurous soul you are!
    By the way, don't worry about the man tried to kiss you, kissing 3 times on the chick is common between men and women (who are intimate) in Iran, though, I do believe the driver was rude as you are not familiar with the culture here meaning he should have kept the distance. But it's OK, some people are just weirdos :)

    Iranians are a kissy group, used to be three alternating cheek kisses, but sometimes it's four? I don't know, usually you just follow their lead haha! It's used as a "hello" and a "goodbye".
    After the driver gave his regards haha, he said "Friends, we've become friends!"
    Then cab driver also said "Just wait here they are going to take you to your destination"
    You: "huh"
    Driver: "They're going to take you now!"

So a huge thank you for that🙏 . On that note, Im surprised that you never got to visit bigger cities such as shiraz or Esfahan during your stay as these two cities are "must to visit" with lots of history and range of culture.
    In addition, I have to admit that Persian gulf has one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

    wow...what an incredibly interesting journey to watch ! Next time in Iran try the northern provinces by Caspian sea (Gilan). I hear the place is really beautiful and folks up there are chill and totally welcoming...Thanks and keep up the journey.

    Two kiss and nose kiss gulf arab do It
    In some area in Saudi arabia nose kiss only for people you dont know them
    Nose kiss like eskimo kiss without lips touching just noses
    Nose kisses you can do It with hand shake and not near to the person and also you can do It close to his nose touch nose
