BADAB-E SURT - In this natural site, located in northern part of Iran in Mazandaran province, the stream of two different mineral springs have formed a natural stepped travertine terrace over thousands of years. What makes this natural phenomenon unique among the other similar places on earth is the reddish orange color of these terraces due to the existence of a large amount of iron carbonate in the water of one of the springs.

DASHT-E LUT - Iran’s first and only natural UNESCO World Heritage site is definitely among the most important must-sees of natural attractions in the country. This unique region, which holds the record for the hottest spot on the earth in 2005, offers mesmerizing views caused by wind erosion during summer and autumn. The enormous rock formations beside some of the tallest sand dunes in the world create spectral scenery which is compared to the landscapes of other planets like Mars.

MARGOON WATERFALL - The highest waterfall of Iran, with a height more than 70 meters and 100 meter width, has been compared to the shape of snake in Persian language. True to its name, the white, beautiful streams of water, along with the surrounding wildlife, have created an astonishing scenery which is visited by thousands of travelers each year. Located 3 hours away from Shiraz in Fars province, the temperature of water is less than 10 degrees even in the warmest seasons of the year. It would be better to visit the waterfall during the spring, but the frozen image of Margoon waterfall in some seasons is also appreciable among nature lovers.

LAKE URMIA - One of the most famous lakes of Iran, which unfortunately in the last few years is disappearing rapidly, is located in north-western part of Iran and around 30 years ago was the largest salt-water lake in the Middle East. In the past, the lake was home to many migratory birds like flamingos and pelicans. However, today, it only contains less than 10 percent of its original volume and by evaporating the water, it is now turning to a salty ground. The shores of the lake are now the habitat of a special kind of algae which has caused the changes in the color of the lake from green to wine-red.
