Kerman
Kerman, a city rich in history and encircled by rugged mountains and deserts, offers a captivating dive into Iran’s cultural heritage. At the Ganjali Khan Complex, I marveled at the harmony of Persian architecture, featuring stunning tile work, graceful arches, and the lively atmosphere of the bazaar, where merchants sold everything from spices to handcrafted carpets. The Jabalieh Dome, with its enigmatic origins and unique stone structure, stands as a tribute to Kerman’s ancient history. In the Shahdad Desert, I was amazed by the Lut Desert’s vast, otherworldly landscape, especially at sunset when the dunes glowed golden. Kerman’s blend of historical landmarks, warm hospitality, and natural beauty deepened my appreciation for its rich, multifaceted character.
