Desert trekking and desert excursions in Iran
Though the northern part of Iran is covered by dense rain forests called Shomal or the Jungles of Iran. The eastern parts consists mostly of desert basins such as the Dasht-e Kavir, Iran's largest desert, in the north-central portion of the country, and the Dasht-e Lut, in the east, as well as some salt lakes. There is also the Central desert which as can be understood from its name is located in the central regions. This is because the mountain ranges are too high for rain clouds to reach these regions. There are a lot of activities that can be done in these deserts: Desert tracking, camel riding, bicycle riding and 4x4 tracks.
In some parts of the deserts there are some camping sites available.
