Mazdooran Cave is one of the historical and natural caves of Razavi Khorasan Province. It lies two kilometres east of the village of Mazdooran, in the Mashhad area, among the "Chahak" and "Shorloq" highlands. The cave is located about 95 kilometres along the Mashhad–Sarakhs road, close to mineral hot springs, and thanks to its location it is one of the region's interesting but lesser-known sights.

Mazdooran Cave dates back to the second millennium BC and is registered as a historical monument of Iran under number 652. Its mouth opens to the east among large boulders, with an entrance 2 metres wide and 2.5 metres high. In terms of size, the cave ranks among the large caves, measuring about 100 metres in length, 50 metres in width and 20 metres in height, which gives it a spacious interior.

Inside the cave there are stalagmite columns, though they are not numerous. The interior is dry, so for water you need to use the large spring located nearby. With its historical age and natural features, Mazdooran Cave is considered a valuable attraction of Razavi Khorasan Province and can be a great destination for those interested in history, geology and nature tourism.
