"As a tour guide, I highly recommend Varzaneh Desert as one of the best destinations near Esfahan. Experience the mesmerizing beauty of the night sky and the breathtaking sunrise and sunset in this desert wonderland. Varzaneh offers off-road adventures for your enjoyment.For those looking to explore further, you'll find Shakh-e Kenar Waterfall and Salt Lake just a short distance away. If you wish to discover Varzaneh even more intimately, I can provide guidance or introduce you to the welcoming local community for an authentic experience."

If you are interested in deserting, the name of Isfahan, with its unique deserts, must be eaten; one of these deserts is Varzaneh (Ghar). This desert is located in the city of Varzaneh, somewhere between Yazd and Isfahan, with an area of more than 1000 km, about 100 km from Isfahan. The city of Varzaneh has a long history of countless natural and historical attractions

To travel to Varzaneh, you must move from Isfahan province. By going to this desert, you can see a wide area covered with sandy beaches and sand dunes. What distinguishes this desert from other Iran deserts is a wind, that gives different shapes to sandy hills.

One of the highlights of my trip to Iran.
Contact Reza directly on Whatsapp +98 913 203 0096.
I asked him to stay on the Chapaker Guesthouse and he proposed me to sleep in the desert with two germans and two french. It was amazing !
After a day trip to the salt lake and a sunset on the dunes we went to our camp in the desert. Tents, fire, really good food (I am veggie and they cooked eggplants on the bbq with tahini, it was excellent), real silence and lots of laughs. I loved this experience.
The prices are really fair and everyone was really kind. Go for it !

Varzana Desert (the correct word Khara desert) is located in Isfahan province, about 100 km of Isfahan and 150 km of Yazd. Here is one of the most beautiful deserts in Iran to enjoy the glory of night in the desert further visiting unique places in the village during the day.
In Varzaneh you can stay in traditional guest houses. There are many guest houses in Varzaneh that have comfortable rooms, accomodation facilities and delicious traditional foods. If you are looking for an authentic desert experience the hosts take you to see local people weaving carpets, salt lake and sand dunes.

Varzaneh desert is about 130 km far from isfahan and if you are in Isfahan you can consider 6 hours to travel to it and coming back to isfahan. There is also a lake far from it about 30 minutes. I highly recommend you to visit it near sunset if you want to visit it in summer. It's so nice to view sunset. Another exciting thing there is sand boarding which is also available there. I'm moein from isfahan and I can speak English well if you are in isfahan and you want to have a trip to varzaneh you can contact me.I guarantee that you will have some memorable time there😊.if you want to stay there for night it is also possible and I will provide any equipment which will be needed.don't worry about the price it would be surely reasonable. If you want to contact you can send me a message on a massenger my number is 989136885157 and also you can send me email on gmail :(moein.rns) on gmail.

We arrived at Varzaneh house after a long drive from Shiraz. The traditional garden was a nice change after the long drive.
The house is simple but Ahmad and Hojat try very hard to make ours and others stay very comfortable.
The rooms are very clean, WiFi is working perfect the food is very delicious and guided tours by Hojat to the desert or salt lake and other places are very informative and comfortable drive, of course if you don’t want to go 4x4 ....
I loved the place and anytime again

It's astonishing to visit desert at sunset. Also with excitement of sandboarding.
I'm Moein and I had lots of tour to varzaneh from Isfahan with foreigners and European tourists. If you are in Isfahan or you're going to be in Isfahan and you plan to go there just let me know.it's about 1.15 hour far from isfahan by car.
I promise you that you have great time there even if you've been in desert a lot of time before. We also can have a night camp there.here are my recent tours to desert.don't worry about the price.

Vorrei sapere se si può dormire nel deserto e come prendere il taxi per tornare a varzaneh. Grazie

hello... i will travel to esfahan on april..and like to explore varzaneh..
its easy to get transport to desert and lake?. any suggestion or need to get tour?
Written March 11, 2018
Hey, there is no need for a guided tour. From isfahan there are many buses to varzaneh. Once you are there, hire a taxi and explore the region. Everything is quite near, so it's quite cheap and for sure, cheaper than a tour... . Hope you enjoy your stay!

Hello! I'm currently staying in Esfahan for a couple of days and was reccomended to go to Varzaneh desert to veiw the sunset and take a walk on the dunes. I have no car to get there myself, so therefore would like to know the easiest (and maybe not too expensive) way to get there just for a couple of hours during the evening and then back to Esfahan?
Thankful for any answers!

Hallo, ich würde gerne wissen, ob sich die Übernachtung gelohnt hat in der Wüste bei Varzaneh? War es sauber dort? Wie teuer etwa? Oder besser nach Sonnenuntergang in den Ort zurückfahren? Vielen Dank für eine Antwort u herzliche grüsse, Chris

Bonjour, désolé pour la réponse tardive.
Les dunes les plus importantes se trouvent à 45mn/1h de Varzaneh en voiture. Ce n'est pas non plus un désert gigantesque. Plutôt privilégier le coucher de soleil et revenir dormir à Varzaneh.
Bon voyage.
