In our 8-Day Iran Tour, all the important cities and deserts have been covered. We want to show you the most famous places in these cities in 8 Days.

Ancient Cities

We are going to visit Tehran the capital city of Iran and Kashan, a city with more than 7,500 years of urbanization. Afterward, we visit Abyaneh, the red village, that its history backs to the Sassanid era and Isfahan, the city of Islamic architecture. Then, Naien that is well-known for its rugs and carpets around the world, Mesr Desert, the fortune of losing a camel, and Yazd, the adobe city and windcatcher will be our next destinations.

Mesr Desert Expedition

Exploring Mesr desert nowadays is the result of the fortune of losing a camel! The camel’s owner discovered the desert by chance while looking for his camel.  Then, he made his own Egypt (Mesr) by digging Qanat for 5km to bring life to the desert. Although later a flood destroyed the village, the desert kept its own privacy and stood still after all.

And now it’s our turn to explore Mesr desert on this tour.
