Eskandar Waterfall

Eskandar Waterfall is located on the road from Tabriz to Ahar County, near a village called Tuyeqon, in East Azerbaijan Province. Eskandar Waterfall in Tabriz, which locals also call Malek Kian Waterfall, is a tall waterfall about 30 metres high. This large and beautiful waterfall lies on the northern slope of Mount Sahand and is one of the most popular destinations for climbers. It is interesting to know that in winter the waterfall has its own unique wonder and beauty. The cold weather forms icicles at the waterfall and on the mountainside, and these icicles create an ideal setting for ice climbing.

Near the waterfall are also Eskandar Cave and Malek Kian Dam, both of which are pleasant places worth seeing in this area. Malek Kian Dam is a place for families to relax and fish in the lovely weather of spring and summer. The dam is located in the Semenis area and offers a beautiful view of nature. Eskandar Cave, meanwhile, is a mysterious cave that many people have entered in search of treasure, only never to return alive. Many tales and legends are told about this cave. A registered tourist attraction lies within the cave's vicinity, and it is not far from the city of Tabriz.
