Shahdad Desert is located 1150 kilometers away from Tehran, in Kerman Province. To get to this beautiful desert, you can start from the city of Tehran toward the cities of Qom and Kashan. Arriving in Kashan, you will continue to Nain, Rafsanjan and finally Kerman. No doubt, it takes a long time to arrive in Kerman, so it will be a good idea for you to stay in Kerman overnight and get to Shahdad region next day in the morning.
The other route you can take to get to this region is the route from Qom, Kashan and Isfahan. Taking this route, you can plan a one-day or two-day stay in Isfahan and enjoy the historical and artistic beauties of this historic city. Then you can continue traveling toward Mehriz, Rafsanjan and finally Kerman. Make sure to pay a visit to the historic city of Kerman, too, and then you can continue your trip to Shahdad region.
The first fact about this region is that, in 2005, the temperature recorded by NASA for this region was more than 70 degrees Celsius, i.e. higher than the temperature of Arizona Desert!
