About this Tour

We experience three days in central-southern Iran that is a vast desert called lut desert. We are in the area of sand dunes, some of which can reach several hundred meters in height, up to 300 or 500 meters! With our off-road vehicles, we travel along sandy corridors dominated by dunes that stun for their simple and perfect beauty. The dunes invite us to go beyond them; we don’t always succeed at the first attempt, the cover-ups are inevitable, but this is also part of the desert rituals we know well. From their peaks, they invite us to admire the sunset and an incomparable panorama, without borders. Then at night, wrapped in the special silence of the great spaces, we will admire a splendid sky, so starry that it will fill our hearts with pure joy once again.

In this tour, we will visit, Qanat and fort in Shafiabad village and, Kalouts in Sunset.  We sleep 3 nights in tents under a beautiful starry sky, accompanied by our staff of expert drivers with their 4WD off-road vehicles and Iranian professional guides. We have another choice to stay at night in Malek Abad village in luxury tents. In the tent, the facility of a 5-star hotel is provided.

We can add this experience to most of our classic Iran tours, so you can enjoy cultural cities like Shiraz and Isfahan and museums as well as the boundless desert of Iran in one package.
