Iran Desert and Cultural Mix Tour
Iran has geographical and cultural diversity. You can get acquainted with Iran with various tours and with different features. This tour will familiarize you with the historical and cultural specifications of Iran while you will visit the beautiful desert of Iran. The Lut desert (UNESCO) and the central desert or Dasht-e kavir are two major arid regions of Iran. They are unique deserts with a rich variety of spectacular desert platforms caused by long periods of high winds.
Although much of the deserts are inaccessible and naturally protected due to the extreme heat and lack of water, you can visit traces of settlements and villages dating back 7000 years ago on the edges of Iran deserts. Thus, Persian ingenuity has pioneered special lifestyles and architectural elements such as Kariz (or Qanat: a chain of underground canals for high-water) in UNESCO's heritage.
