No journey to Iran reaches a completion and perfection unless you venture off into deserts and oasis. It is a big dream for many to spend some nights or at least one night in the desert or a real oasis in the desert. Overnight stay in the desert like the ones you watch in movies: an oasis clothed in palm trees with water wells and crops in the middle of sand dunes and discovering who people find their way to adapt with harsh nature of the desert. Then we follow our way to the city of wind catcher “ Yazd“, Isfahan and the capital of culture and art of Iran, Shiraz.
