Located in southeastern Iran, Karman province is known for its rich history and diverse landscape. The unique blend of culture, history and natural beauty makes Carman State an attractive destination for travelers.
Home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, eye-catching gardens and ancient monuments, Carman City can be considered the perfect museum to mark various periods of Iranian history.
The state of Carman is surrounded by Fars in the west, Yazd in the north, South Horasan in the north, Sistanbalkestan in the east, and Holmozgan in the south. It includes the LUT Desert, the southern part of the desert of central Iran.
With an area of over 180,000 square kilometers, Karman province is one of Iran’s largest provinces. They enjoy a variety of climates, including warm, semi-dry, very dry, medium, and cold.
Here at Carman, residents fight against the glowing faces of the desert difficulties with the smiles of their patients. Each of the Carman monuments represents the historical dimension of people’s lives. This makes Karman a permanent museum of various periods in Iranian history.
Many different types of stone and ceramic works belonging to the 5th millennium BC have been excavated from the hills and plains of this land, representing the ancient times of civilization.
Carman has countless historic sites, gardens, scenic scenery such as Bazaar-e-Saltasari, Vaquilbath, Fass Abad Garden, Shazadeh Garden, Rat Desert Karuto and Bam Citadel.
Karman’s Vakir Bazaar is located in the middle of the Vakir Bazaar, which was built 170 years ago during the Kajal era, modeled after the Ganjari Khan Bazaar. This bath is believed to have been constructed in the order of the Carman rulers during that time, according to an inscription inside the Carman Vakil bath. Carman’s artistic architects used stunning tiles and ceramic pieces to adorn the place and surprise the next generation. This historic bath is now a traditional tea shop and is open to tourists.
Shazde Garden (Prince Garden) is a green oasis located in the heart of the desert. Located near Mahan in the province of Karman, Shazde Garden is one of the historic Persian gardens with rectangular plans.
