Tour description

In a desert environment and on the border of the hottest heritage desert in the world, a world garden city is situated at the crossroads of important trade routes on the southern side of the Iranian plateau. The town has a fortified citadel in the Central Asian region, based on the use of the mud layer technique (Chineh) combined with mud bricks (Khesht). The ever-green city, whose name is BAM.

Bam is a garden city famous for the vast Arg-e Bam mud-brick citadel and the delicious Mazafati dates and citrus fruits, which are in great demand in Iran. This green miracle in a desert oasis results from the complex system of the qanat, a simple engineering innovation of the ancient Iranians. Qanat network stretches NW-SE under the city like a floodway.
