Overview
Lut desert tour is a unique experience of Safari in the Lut desert and hottest place on earth.
The Lut Desert, or Dasht-e-Lut, is located in the south-east of the country. Between June and October, this arid subtropical area contains strong winds, which transport sediment and cause aeolian erosion on a colossal scale. Consequently, the site presents some of the most spectacular examples of aeolian yardang landforms (massive corrugated ridges). It also contains extensive stony deserts and dune fields. The property represents an exceptional example of ongoing geological processes.
Escape the city and spend a night, like no other, under the stars in the tranquil Lut Desert. Lut desert tour will take you to various sand dunes of Lut, breathtaking Kalut formations, and destinations like the Shahdad, Mahan, Yalan area, Kerman, and amazing Yazd. Led by a professional guide and a driver, you’ll start your epic desert adventure at Lut desert.
