HISTORY
Ancient Silk Route cities of Kerman and Bam are the main draws. Kerman's bazaar, with
its teahouse and caravanserai, evokes millennia of trade, while Bam's huge citadel re-
mains breathtaking despite earthquake damage.
DESERTS
The whole southeast is desert or semi-desert. Highlights include the huge natural 'sand-
castles' of the Kaluts, nearby desert campsites and Mahan's famous gardens at Bagh-e
Shahzde.
