Overview

Varzaneh Oasis Historical Tour

Varzaneh desert, also called Khara or Hasan Abad desert is located about 100 km out of Isfahan and It takes about an hour to get there. The best times to visit are the first parts of spring and autumn, due to the mild weather which is out of this world. Although it is worth mentioning that deserts have harsh freezing nights and you need to pack warm clothing. The international Gavkhouni Wetland provides this desert with some humidity and you should expect pleasing moist sand dunes.

You can relax while enjoying fascinating diverse views made by the wind that blows there and changes the sand dunes’ shape. You can walk on the soft sands with naked feet and let nature do its work. Another option is riding boards, you can rent a board and ride down the sand hills and if you ever got tired, there are off-road cars waiting to take and show you the beauties of this place. Some other activities you can participate in are paragliding, zip lining, bike riding and stargazing.

Photography at night is also suggested. When Varzaneh goes to sleep you will find yourself surrounded by numerous shining stars which are moving gently in the endless sky creating the perfect opportunity for photography. Only one night is enough to feel the difference between this magnificent universe and our normal routine lives.

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.

Reza

    His body light as the wind hides his soul of sand Between adobe walls that blend with the color of the earth In a narrow alley a beautiful wooden door opens giving way to an extensive patio with a fountain in the middle Reza receives us with her hands of sand. With his slim body and smile on his lips If you travel to Iran look for the desert in the hands of Reza and let the wind take you to those places that you hope to find on your trip Give Reza a hand and keep discovering the soul of the people Keep discovering those men and women that you went to look for those places where your steps took you Find Reza and you will find the desert, the beautiful adobe houses and a wooden door always open to dreams

    Bellissima esperienza!

    Abbiamo partecipato a questo tour a Giugno 2019 ed è stato fantastico! Reza è stato molto disponibile e gentile e ha fatto si che questa esperienza fosse speciale. Scendere dalle dune su una tavola è stato divertentissimo, camminare in un lago salato, fare un picnic sotto il cielo stellato e guardare l'alba nel deserto sono state esperienze che difficilmente dimenticherò! Grazie Reza!

    Great experience!

    The tour was well organized, we liked it very much! It was maybe the best experience we had during our trip in Iran. Salt lake was beautiful and we had a lot of fun on the dunes doing sandboarding! We also loved having breakfast on the roof of an old caravanserai at the sunrise. Reza is a special person, he's very kind and careful and he speaks English perfectly. I absolutely suggest this tour!

    magnificent scenery

    It is the first time in my life that I went out of the country and I should say the scenery became more attractive than walking bare feet in Kavir! Excellent guide and magnificent scenery. We had a lot of fun, even though it was the end of winter but Sohrab managed to help each and everyone to have fun. Next year we’ll be back here.

    One of the highlights of our holidays in Iran

      We had a wonderful time in Varzaneh. I can recommend this tour not only because of the wonderful nature and all the sights we visited, but also because Reza is a very good guide. It was a pleasure spending time with him. We learned a lot not only about the sights but also about the life in Iran. Most of all we were impressed by the really big salt lake and the sand dunes nearby. At first I was a bit scared, but sandboarding was real fun. Booking this tour via tappersia was easy, a very friendly and helpful contact. It was no problem to end the tour in Kashan instead of Isfahan.

      love the place!

      This is a place we totally love, celebrating Christmas here this year. I and my friends came to Iran for the first time in winter and with only a little time we had booked the varzaneh tour in Isfahan with tappersia. There are so many routes that we didn’t manage to check them out but still, we had so much fun. it totally worth it.

      Great tour with Reza!

      Thanks Reza and Sina for taking us to the salt lake and the desert! They both took very good care of us. Salt Lake was a beautiful surprise for us. Staying overnight in the desert was a bit crowded and noisy, so try to avoid the weekends.

      Enjoying sand & salt in Varzaneh

      We went on the Salt Lake and Desert tour with Reza and we enjoyed it very much! Walking in a salty lake is a unique experience. The sand dunes are beautiful at sunset and we had great fun going down the hills on a sand board. Reza’s English knowledge is remarkable, we especially liked his openness and he will make sure that you have nothing to worry about during the trip.

      2 days in desert

      We spent 2 days in the desert from Isfahan to varzaneh on a private tour for 6 people. The spectacular landscape took away all our concerns and buried them in sand dunes. Ali our driver guide and sohrab made us Ko Ko sabzi. Varzaneh is beautiful and has so much to offer!
