The greatest advantage of our Maranjab Desert tours is that you will not only
visit Maranjab Desert, one of the most beautiful deserts in the world, but also
Kashan city and the magical village of Abyaneh. Maranjab desert is located about 300
km away from Tehran but it is a relatively short drive from Kashan. Deserts in
Iran cover more than a quarter of the country’s land area. Two vast deserts in
Iran are Dasht-e Kavir (also known as the Great Salt Desert) and Dasht-e Lut
(one of the hottest spots on the face of the earth). Maranjab is part of the
Great Salt Desert and due to its proximity to the inhabited rural and urban
regions, is widely visited by travelers. Maranjab is an inseparable part of any
Keshan desert tour. Our Maranjab desert tour takes two days and the starting
point is of course Tehran. But unlike most of our tours the ending point isn’t
Tehran but Isfahan aka half of the world. This way you will enjoy the amazing
desert tour on your way to Isfahan with its countless sightseeing spots. Similar
to most of the deserts in the world, Maranjab desert is very hot during the day
but the weather drops considerably after the sunset. Some of the amazing places
to see in Maranjab (you can find them on Maranjab Desert map) are the famous
Salt Lake and Maranjab old caravanserai where you will spend the night under the
blinking eyes of an infinity of stars. Next day after visiting the great Salt
Lake and marvelous dunes of Maranjab we will head towards the ancient village of
Abyaneh, one of the most beautiful villages in Iran. The locals of Abyaneh still
talk with the ancient language of their ancestors and their lovely local
garments compliment the magnificence of this old rural realm. Abyaneh will be
the last stop before going to Isfahan and is the perfect epilogue to an epic
desert tour.
