An ancient castle with 700 rooms is one of the attractions named after the desert village Bayazeh in Khor-Biabanak, a city located 400 km from Isfahan.
Khor-Biabanak has numerous natural attractions, including palm trees, a salt lake and sandy hills.
Bayazeh Castle, with an antiquity of thousands of years, is designed in several stories. It has a double-storied basement, Mehr News Agency reported.
Earlier, there was a trench surrounding the castle, the high walls of which protected the castle from the attacks of thieves and plunderers. Even villagers used to keep their assets inside the castle several decades ago.
Bayazeh historical castle dates back to the Sassanid Era. It was registered on National Heritage List at No. 4701 during January 2002.
Walking in the desert refreshes the soul of every tourist. After passing through the palm trees, visitors come across a salt lake that has an enchanting ambience.
There is a hotel in Bayazeh Village to host domestic and foreign tourists.
Tourists can also visit Mesr Desert which is located 90 km off Bayazeh Village.

History of Habitation
Mesr is an oasis located in the central desert of Iran known as Dashte-Kavir in Persian. The central mountain ranges of Iran, which cross the desert, are close by.
The town’s only source of water and, therefore, lifeline flows from a spring near the foothills of the afore-mentioned mountains close to the heart of the village.
This is the only source of life for the gardens and date palm orchards that make this oasis such a special place.
As far as we know, it has been thus for several thousand years.
The documented history of human settlement in the region date back to 4,000 years, though other relatively reliable evidence suggests that human habitation is 7,000 years old.
The main activity of the local inhabitants during this incredibly long period had been agriculture and wresting sustenance out of the harsh conditions that are the reality of this land.
In more recent historical times (from about 2,000 years ago), the oasis appeared on the famous Silk Road.
Consequently, many travelers have passed through the area. Nasser Khosro, the famous Persian poet, philosopher and adventurer, traveled through the area about 950 years ago and mentioned it in his travel writing.
This is very well known to all literate Persian readers and foreign tourists.
The villages in the central desert are one of the favorite features of ecotourism visited by many Iranian and foreign eco-tourists every year.

Natural Attractions
Khour, Mesr and Garme are located in the southern part of the desert, which deserve more attention.
In fact, Mesr Village is one of the amazing natural attractions, especially for those who enjoy trekking through the rough but beautiful terrain of a desert.
Mesr (which means Egypt in English) is located 30 km north of Khor.
Despite being far away from the other spotlight of tourism in Iran, it gets quite many visitors during the year, half of which are foreigners.
Mesr is best known for its unique sand hills and an amazing bamboo field.
The sand hills around the village are known as thrones since the strong winds have formed peculiar and attractive shapes.
Takht-e Aroos and Takh-e Abbasi are among the most famous hills in the area. From the top of each sand throne, you get an amazing view of the village and the desert.
Another widely known attraction of the area is called Seleknon salt lake, which is covered by hive-like shapes formed by salt. These are of great interest to those interested in adventure travel.
Water for agriculture and drinking water is supplied by a subterranean aqueduct 25 km from Mesr Village. It is relatively sweet and fresh.
Because of its location in the south-central desert, weather in Mesr Village is warm and dry.
The village is believed to be 100 years old and was named after its founder Yousef (meaning Joseph). It was later changed to Chah-Deraz (Long Well), because it supplied water to the village.
