The oasis of Kashan, situated on the border between the Zagros Mountains and the Dasht-e Kavir desert, was once known as one of the most prosperous oases of ancient Persia and is still an almost obligatory stop for lovers of the original charm of the Silk Road. Located 250 km south of Tehran, Kashan is now nothing more than a small, sleepy town on the edge of the great Dasht-e Kavir desert, the last route of march before the uninhabited expanses of the desert.<\/p>\n
The town awakens every year for the great Rose Festival, known in Persian as “golab ghiri”. However, the city’s importance lies not only in the rose, but also in the many sights, traditional houses, hammams, mosques and the fascinating bazaar that make Kashan a must-see for any traveller to Iran.<\/p>\n
Besides its precious carpets, it is home to the characteristic glazed tiles called Kashi, after which the city is named. The large bazaar, which displays carpets, ceramic works, various embroideries and silk fabrics, is fragrant with the scent of rose water, which is produced in large quantities in the city thanks to its magnificent rose gardens.<\/p>\n
In the cities, there are many houses with the characteristic wind towers, Bad Ghir, a traditional system of ventilation in the hot desert areas.[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”MAP” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
