Transfer to Yazd via desert town Na'in

Today was a rather uneventful day. We started off with our two Catalan friends and took the bus to Na’in, a supposedly nice and interesting desert town with sights like an old mosque, castle ruins, an old bazaar. It was really windy and we all got teary eyes from the sand in the air - welcome to the desert :-)

While the mosque was an interesting sight, the other 5+ sights in town were less impressive and a lack of other tourists (Iranian and other) seemed to confirm the low touristic merits ;-) The four of us had tea and a snack in a rudimentary cafe that featured interesting decoration material: sheep skins that looked like balloons....

In order to get to Yazd, we then went to the big roundabout at the edge of town and waited for a bus that we could stop. We got lucky after 20 minutes /-) and the waiting time was made more pleasant by two young Iranian ladies who were promoting travel safety and first aid in the service of the Red Crescent 🌙 (Red Cross in muslim countries). We got candy and chairs to sit on in the shade.

Arriving in Yazd, the city immediately struck us as a great catch: much calmer and with fewer people than Esfahan. We also saw many cute little cafes and restaurants that looked very inviting from the first sight - something we missed a bit in Esfahan. Together with the Catalans, we met the German girls for dinner in one of the roof tops restaurants with views on the mosques around the town, it was great!Läs mer
