Khur, Iran - An oasis in the desert: Kavir Guest House
Hi fellow travelers,
We just found a wonderful place to stay in the middle of the Dasht-e Kavir desert, Iran. Some three years ago, young and open-minded Rohab Moghimi started a guest house at his parents' place in Khur. It's a great spot to start exploring the Dasht-e Kavir. From Khur, you can easily visit the sand dunes near the village of Mesr, spend a night on a roof top in the almost abandoned village of Arusan (three people still living there), drive to the salt desert (biggest seasonal salt lake in the world) and take a swim in the very salty water or go to the laid-back oasis village of Garmeh.
The atmosphere at Rohab's guest house is very warm and his mother will cook you an excellent meal. Just watch out for Crazy Amir, Rohab's 12 year old funny brother. In the near future, Rohab has plans to restore an old abandoned village to welcome more tourists. In our humble opinion, a visit to Iran with the bike would be almost incomplete without passing by Rohab. He truly is a great and very correct guy and speaks good English as well.
