Why Yazd Tourism
Lying in the heart of Iran's desert of Kavir-e Markazi on one hand and resting on the mountainside of Shirkou with a height of 4075 meters above the sea level on the other hand makes the city of Yazd enjoy the dramatic change in temperature. Spending about an hour traveling a distance of at least two kilometers makes each tourist aware of the palpable change in temperature up to 40°.

During the day and night, the desert of Kavir experiences the same change in temperature too. In the day the sky is clear and sunny and at night it is full of stars whose beauty transcends whatever has been created by humans.
