Delazian Desert

The Delazian Desert is located in Semnan Province, in the north of Dasht-e Kavir and south of the village of Delazian. Across most of the desert, vegetation is very sparse, and mostly drought-tolerant and salt-tolerant plants can be seen. The desert is where the Shurab River of Semnan and the Ginab River meet; after crossing the Semnan plain, the two rivers join in this area. Because of these two seasonal rivers, marshy ground is common throughout the desert, and salt domes lie along the edges of the marshes. These domes are among the area's tourist attractions and have a distinctive beauty.

Like the other deserts of the region, the Delazian Desert offers a variety of attractions typical of the desert world. Gazing at the horizon and the silence of the landscape by day, and watching the beautiful starry sky at night, are among the most unforgettable moments of a visit to the desert. The abandoned Delazian sulfur mine is another attraction of the area; it lies beyond the salt domes, 10 kilometers from the village. The salt lake is another tourist attraction of this area. Sand dunes can also be seen on the edge of the sulfur mine. The best time to visit this natural attraction is during the months of Mordad and Shahrivar (late July to September).
