From Deyhuk to Desert: A journey of silence and endless beauties

Hi all tourists and lovers of photography art.

In my opinion, a tourist and a photographer are very directly connected because a tourist can have beautiful records if he is interested in photography, and a photographer can always be very creative in nature except his workplace job.

As I had put in the past few posts of the beauty and tourism of the city of Tabas with Golshan today, I want to show you a very beautiful and beautiful part of the Deyhuk section and a few surrounding villages and a few spectacular historical years.

The road was back, the sun was slowly sitting on the lips of the sky, and that light orange light had fallen on the surrounding mountains. The Tabas road to Deyhuk was full of silence and peace. The more I went ahead, the more the desert showed itself; The arid mountains, the cracking lands, but it was a special beauty that it wiped out.

After a while driving, I arrived at Deyhuk. A small, simple village, but with a strange safety. The houses were more straw, some of which have the old color and smell. The alleys were earthy, palm trees and green.

One thing that was in my mind was that of the restless peace I had. Neither the cellphone was properly proper, nor the sound of the car. It was only the wind that slowly wraps the trees and smells of the earth in the air.

Deyhuk, with all his littleness, was a deep stop in your journey. From the places you feel you have to see it once in your life, sit by a mud wall, eat tea and just look ... .

On the way to visit the Deyhuk district, I visited the village of Nayband and Isfahak, where one of the villages could not be living because of an earthquake that had happened several years ago, and on another side of the village people had created another residential area.
The same state of being deserted and its muddy state had become a tourist and tourist area.

The pictures above relate to the village of Isfahak.

When I entered the village, it was as if I was separated for a moment and went to the heart of history. Her houses were made with clay and flowers, the walls of the mud, the wooden doors whose voices had a strange way, and the dirt alleys that stepped in the throat, the scratch of the soil beneath the feet.

What was most interesting to me was that despite the earthquake that had destroyed the village many years ago, its people decided to preserve that historical context. Don't let go. They even rebuilt a series of old houses and mosques and the bathroom, but it was still alive.

There is a certain silence there. It is as if the time is slow.

When I first stepped to Nayband village, I was as if I got into a painting. A staircase with houses that leaned together, just like Masouleh, but in the desert! Nayband is located right on the border of South Khorasan and the Lut Desert and is one of the last lush places before entering the desert.

Palm trees, figs and pomegranates were made with that dry space around a beautiful contrast. One can't believe it in such an area, such a greenery. The people of the village were also very popular, with their sweet accent and warm smile, and one would not feel homeland.

Above the village that stands up, the entire area under Patteh. From the top of that view of the houses, palms, and the desert around a great combination. If I can dare to astonish, here is one of the best places to observe the stars.

Nayband was a pure experience, a combination of nature, traditional architecture, local culture and pure peace.

One of the places I had heard and I didn't want to lose was the arch of King Abbasi. In the heart of a pristine and beautiful valley, near the village of Khr Khor and the hot spring of Morteza Ali, I saw this great historical structure. You can't believe it, an arc dam that is said to be the oldest and thinnest dam! It is only one meter wide, but it was made a whole lot last year and still stand up and still exist for years.

Cool and cool air, the sound of water flow, pristine nature ... When I reached the arch, I was really stunned by the architecture and engineering intelligence of that era. I sat there, took a deep breath and wondered how without machinery, making such a masterpiece.
According to locals, there was a dam that was very beautiful.
In addition, it is known as the largest arched dam in the world, as well as the "thinnest dam in the world". The width of the dam is only one meter, but its height reaches 2 meters! These features have made the arch of Shah Abbasi a special place among other historical structures in the world.

The dam is more than 5 years old, the main purpose of the dam was to direct water to agricultural land and provide water resources for the region. It has been one of the most advanced examples of dam construction at the time. To build such a structure, engineers of that era have been able to create an arc barrier with these features that have remained to date.

Since the city of Tabas is in the same way with the Iranian Desert and the Lut Desert, we went to the nearest desert for a few hours, but due to the heavy wind I couldn't take many photos for you.

The closest desert was the Halvan Desert. I went to the Halvan Desert to have a different experience from the desert. From the beginning of the desert, the wind began. As I walked, I felt like a wind wall in front of me, so that every step I took, I was hardly moving forward. The wind was so severe that the soils and sand were on my face and eyes. I could lose my balance at any moment. So much that the weather was full of dust that most of the time I couldn't even see it right. For a moment I felt like I was experiencing how nature can shatter everything and make the person small and innocent. The desert, with all its beauty, showed me for a moment how much nature could be cruel and powerful.

One more thing was attracted to attention. Camels. They were moving slowly and bored between the sand dunes. It was interesting that with this terrible wind and heat, they still have endurance and continue their way. Sometimes I could see the camels who would go to the desert at a very low but constant speed. It was as if the desert was a house for them that were comfortable. I felt a special sense of life in the desert and the camel's companionship with nature. It was as if the camels were part of the desert spirit. Although many of us may be tired of the intensity of the heat and the wind, the camels would continue with their special peace, as if nothing could disturb them. It was a very interesting experience, and I had never seen the desert so far. Inshallah will come to the desert in the next opportunity in the right season.

My trip to Diyuk was very special. Diyuk was a quiet and quiet village that was completely far from the hustle of life with its pristine nature. When I went to the Halvan Desert, there was a strong wind and the sands were eating every moment. The camels were moving slowly and bored between the hills. This experience showed me that sometimes you have to get away from everything to really feel how much nature is. Hope you can travel here to enjoy all this greatness and beauty and specialness.

I love you so much and look forward to my next trips. Your days and days .

Goodbye
