Kashan, Iran’s capital of rosewater is another city in Iran located near the
immense Great Salt Desert. Considering its proximity to
Tehran and
Isfahan, Kashan is a favorite vacation spot for
Iranians who enjoy the tranquility of
this desert city’s old architecture and mild weather. Kashan’s old urban
engineering is unique in protecting the inhabitants against the excessive heat
of the desert and preserving the scanty water reservoirs. That is why that the
civic officials have tried to maintain much of the old architecture of Kashan
and by doing that they have also made it an inseparable part of all
Iran city
tours.
Kashan tours are especially popular during the
rosewater season when tons of roses are piled all over the city to be processed
in traditional distillation pots in presence of thousands of Iranians and
tourists who enjoy the ceremony and relish the heavenly scent of flowers
inundating the old neighborhoods and their numerous attractions. Our
Kashan sightseeing tours are
planned in a way to cover most of the major
tourist spots of Kashan in one day.
In the course of time people of Kashan have been accustomed to the perpetual
presence of foreign tourists in their city and as a result are very kind and
helpful towards the tourists. Together with
Yazd and Isfahan, Kashan is one of
the
cities in Iran best known for its traditional and historic points of
interest for thousands of tourists. Now you are saying ok enough about the
people and traditions; tell us what is there to see in Kashan. Ok let us begin
with the sheer beauty of
Fin Garden and Bath and its notorious history as the
place where Amir Kabir, the most revered politician of his day was brutally
murdered by the royal thugs. As mentioned before, the traditional architecture
of Kashan is the city’s signature and nowhere demonstrates this great artistry
better than Fin Bath and the famous Tabatabaei House. Other monuments include
many prime instances of
Iranian Islamic architecture in the body of the shrine
of Shahzadeh Ibrahim and Agha Bozorg Mosque. Similar to all of Iran’s historic
cities, there is also a historic bazaar in Kashan which is the center of
commerce in the city.
Kashan’s accommodation centers look much alike to those in
Yazd in their traditional Iranian architecture and many hotels were previously
traditional houses. As if all this amazing set of spots in Kashan isn’t enough,
one look at the map of Iran reveals that the city is a short drive away from two
of the most popular
tourist attractions in Iran, namely
Maranjab desert and the
Persian traditional village of Abyaneh. Thus, in the light of the above, travelling to
Kashan is all gain and no pain!
Maranjab Desert Tours
Ok! Now is the time for the real deal! A desert tour which is also a traditional
village tour and a city tour! Our
Maranjab Desert tour offers that and much more
since the package also includes visits to the historic village of Abyaneh and
the beautiful city of Kashan. But the main destination of the tour, Maranjab
desert, is located in the vicinity of Kashan and it is without a doubt one of
the most scenic
deserts in Iran. We have written at length about Iran’s great
deserts, Dasht-e Kavir and Dasht-e Lut. Maranjab is included within the area of
the former and has a permanent position in the itinerary of Kashan desert tours.
Another great thing about our Maranjab desert tour is that it takes two days and
we start our trip from Tehran and end in the gorgeous Isfahan. Consequently, you
will have more than enough time to enjoy the rare sights of the desert and also
visit Kashan and Abyaneh. Maranjab is a sandy desert and those with previous
experience know well that weather is very tricky in deserts. You probably know
about the excessive heat during the day but you might not expect the dry and
very low nocturnal temperature. So, don’t let the sunny appearance of the desert
deceive you; pack some warm clothes! But this minor issue aside everything is
pure gold! If you take a look at the Maranjab Desert map, you will find many
great places to visit including Maranjab old caravanserai (your accommodation
for the night) and the silver terrain of Maranjab Salt Lake, a magical field of
smooth whiteness amid hundreds of kilometers of golden dunes. The second day
will start by going towards one of the most spectacular traditional villages in
Iran; the red village of Abyaneh. After spending half a day in the mesmerizing
atmosphere of this ancient abode of Iranians we will end our journey in Isfahan
and will let you to explore the wonders of the half of the world all by
yourself!
