Overview

Varzaneh Desert & Guesthouse

Varzaneh Desert is located 100 km from Isfahan, spread in 1000 km2 of land area. We start our trip from Isfahan and it takes 1.5 hours to reach the desert. Getting to our destination, you’ll see a sight covered by clean sands. The mischievous wind has made the sandy hills into different shapes like linear, pyramidal or crescent.

As the desert is close to the Gavkhuni Pond, various plants have grown due to the wetness. You may also have the chance to watch different animals like rabbits, cats and hawks. Amazingly, you can take off your shoes and walk over the smooth clean sand. Touching the sand by your feet is a relaxing experience. Even in some parts, you’ll feel the sand’s coolness due to the underwater resources. If you stand on the eastern hills, you’ll have a scenic top view of the pond.

The speedy off-road driving over the rolling hills or camel riding would be so intriguing and joyful. For sandboarding, you just need to rent a board and slide down the hills. Riding motorcycles is available, just remember to wear the glasses. Trying paraglider and zipline are other options. If you want to observe one of the nature’s marvels, stay there till evening and watch the eye-opening sunset of the desert.

Later, we move to the Khara salt lake. The mass of salt have remained after the mineral water evaporation. Wonderfully, it’s formed a pure white landscape, where is actually the edible salt resource of the country. Watching the desert sky full of stars at night takes you to a fantasy and clears your mind as well. At the end of the day, we will move to a cozy guesthouse and have local food as dinner.

The desert is an intact region, where there are lots of wonders to discover. It’s a suitable sight to be released from the daily occupations and get a mental refreshment.

Excellent service and support Excellent Service ! i am surprised by the reactivity and the will to help and find quickly hotels, flights and solutions for me, even though the holiday season makes things challenging. Chatting through whatsapp made things super smooth and extremely easy. I was interacting with two people from TAP Persia, Rojin and Sohrab. They were just amazing ! They are the ones who reached out to me directly and interacted instantly with me day and night. Great job guys !I used earlier a different company but i was disappointed, i strongly recommend TAP Persia .Keep up the great work !

Fabulous agency - can't recommend more highly for travellers to Iran I decided to go to Iran at short notice and was only able to do so thanks to the exceptional service provided by TAP Persia.What further complicated was my ignorance of being in the middle of Nowruz and the impact that has on flight availabilities etc.In the first instance, that revolved around speedy obtainment of a visa as well as other aspects such as insurance and mah card via their great-value welcome pack.Thereafter, all of my accommodation, tour guides and transport between destinations was arranged by the beyond-wonderful Mahgol with tremendous efficiency, patience and responsiveness - I could not praise nor thank her enough.Communications are as good as can be.With my lack of Farsi and, more specifically, incomprehension of the alphabet, doing things in this manner was the only way to go.All of the guides - Fatemah, Amin, Fardin, Moji, Peyman and Masoud - were fantastic being passionate, knowledgeable, smarter-than-average bears and very nice people.Rasool, Mehrnoush and Sohrab in the office were also very helpful.I would say though that, to help them (especially) to try to draft your itinerary as much as possible before approaching them as this will save time i.e. places, days in each, hotel price-range then trust them to select the latter for you.

Great Service :) TApersia accompanied us well on the way to our Iran visa. My wife's visa took 2 weeks longer than mine (German EU & I'm Swiss). Our questions were always answered quickly by the nice Mahgol via WhatsApp. We think she did her best for our visa processing. After a while, we were also asked how we were doing! Nice, support and promptness are at the highest level.

Solo Saudi female in <3 IRAN <3 10/10. It's hard for me to be succinct, but I will try. I am a Saudi who has been impressed, curious, and infatuated by Iranian culture(s), Iron Age history, Islamic & other religious histories, architecture, and geography for over 15 years. Yum, and food. I wanted initially to continue my Persian language study at Dehkhoda Institute, however student visas take much longer than other visas to process, and I would likely miss my class during the processing time. I was disheartened and scrambled through my Google bookmarks looking for old travel that I had saved over the years in my Iran folder. ;) TAP Persia was bookmarked numerous times and I quickly applied for a tourist visa. Hey, I can still practice some Persian as a tourist, right? THE PROCESS WAS SO EASY. So smooth! Mahgol deserves all the praise and recognition for bringing relief to my anxious-self (because I had already long-ago booked my airline tickets and took time off work!), and she walked me through all the steps in a timely manner and with competence and grace. Even during the first week of Norouz and Ramadan, I got a friendly update and advice -- got my tourist visa within 5 or 6 days (the Ministry was closed for Ramarouz, but WOW that was still quick). I cried from happiness and surprise... Thank you thank you. I will be in Iran April to mid-May. Originally I just registered for TAP Persia welcome package + visa help, but now I'm pretty curious about signing up for one or 2 of their tours now. I am beyond impressed and excited. This travel company, Mahgol, & this team already made me feel safe and like I'm going home, and I imagine with their business practice, will prosper for many years down the road. Thank you so much. Someone please remind me to update this post with photos once I arrive to Iran <3

Iranvisum Ich habe mein Visa für den Iran über TAP Persia beantragt, da der normale Weg zu kompliziert war und sehr viele potentielle Fehler birgt. Ich kann den Service definitiv empfehlen. Alles ist sehr gut und detailliert beschrieben. Der Preis für diesen Service ist es in meinen Augen definitiv Wert. Auch der Kontakt nach der Beantragung über WhatsApp war sehr gut. Sehr freundlich und hilfreich.

Desert and BBQ

Incredible experience accompanied by our guide where he explained everything. we asked for BBQ (not included in the trip itinerary), and our guide prepared in a min. we had a lot of fun on the road and on dunes till the sun went down and came back on. I recommend it 100% and if it is with Ali your experience will be incredible.

Overnight in Varzaneh

This is a must-do trip. After a week in Iran, it's great to get to the desert and watch the sunset. Our host welcomed us with sweet drinks and took us to the sand dunes. there were available sand boards at the guesthouse. Sandboarding is great to try, have as many goes as you like.
