Sareyn سرعين is known for its hot springs. The population is about 8,000, and increases to more than 20,000 in the summer because of the many tourists who go there due to the charming climate. It stands 28 km from Ardabil and total area is 1.28 square km. At the 2006 census, its population was 4,478, in 1,135 families.
The Sareyn springs are near an inactive volcano in mount Sabalan and its water contains sulfur particles and it is believed that it is good for bone and joint pains.
The word Sareyn in the Persian dictionary means Spring's Outlet.
The climate and hot springs are the first attractions to tourists who travel to this region from different parts of Iran and the world.
Sareyn is also famous for its 'Ashe Doogh آش دوغ' (Yogurt Soups), during the busy summer periods, it is not uncommon for many of the local shops to be seen selling and preparing this soup.
Hot springs (spa) have always been in Sarein but the 1990s earthquake caused some of them to get colder or hotter. The water is heated largely by the Sabalan سبلان mountain which is Iran's second highest mountain after Damavand دماوند.
Many tourists visit Sabalan. Its most interesting feat is the 'crater' top which contains a lake of acidic water.
Sareyn is also very famous for its honey, again like the soup, many of Sareyn's shops sell honey which is produced locally by the Bee keepers of the area.
There are 9 hot springs in Sarein, with 'Gavmesh Goli گاوميش گلي' being the hottest, with water reaching 67°C (152.6°F), and turning out around 80 liters per second (21 US gal/sec, 17.6 Imperial gal/sec) from the source. There is also several cold water springs nearby, with the most popular being situated in a small village nearby called 'Vila Dareh ويلا دره' - the water here is fizzy and is very good for the kidneys.
The climate is by far a great asset, and many Iranians from Tehran and other big cities escape to the tranquility and good weather that Sarein has to offer.

- Qarah Soo (A'saab) Thermal Spring
- Sari Soo Thermal Spring
- Gavmish Goli Thermal Spring
- General Thermal Spring

Maze Tunnels on Kish Island in The Persian Gulf that Leave Tourists Mesmerised
The tunnels on Kish Island were used to transport water around the island . The city is known as the Kariz-e-Kish or Kish Qanat by locals. Museum, art galleries and handicraft workshops attract thousands a year. This underground city is so secret it doesn't even have a name. Located on Kish Island, in the Persian gulf, a stone doorway opens up into a maze of walled passages and clear openings that is now partly open for tourists. Judging by the sheer numbers who visit - thousands a year - it's a mesmerising experience. It is actually an ancient underground aqueduct built about 1,000 years ago for the distribution of goods and water to different parts of the island. The tunnels, which have been reinforced over time for safety, snake through the island for over five miles. The city, although without an official name, is known as the Kariz-e-Kish or Kish Qanat by locals. Those who inhabited the island tens of centuries ago built the aqueducts to channel fresh water that they'd discovered to their homes and farms. It was moved around with the help of a series of wells - or channels - known as qanats. The ancient canals were expanded, and an underground city, with museum, art galleries, handicraft workshops, traditional and modern tea/coffee shops sprung up in modern times for tourists to enjoy. Due to its free trade zone status Kish Island is touted as a consumer's paradise, with numerous malls, shopping centres, tourist attractions, and resort hotels. It has an estimated population of 26,000 residents and about one million people visit the island annually. Kish Island was ranked among the world's 10 most beautiful islands by The New York Times in 2010. And it's the fourth most-visited vacation destination in Southwest Asia after Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Sharm el-Sheikh. Another tourist attraction on Kish Island is the Greek wreck of a 1943 cargo steamship, the Koula F, on a beach on Kish's south-west coast.
Iran in 4K : Spring in Alborz Mountains
The Alborz ( Persian: البرز), also spelled as Alburz, Elburz or Elborz, is a mountain range in northern Iran that stretches from the border of Azerbaijan along the western and entire southern coast of the Caspian Sea and finally runs northeast and merges into the Aladagh Mountains in the northern parts of Khorasan. This mountain range is divided into Western, Central, and Eastern Alborz Mountains. The Western Alborz Range (usually called the Talysh) runs south-southeastward almost along the western coast of the Caspian Sea. The Central Alborz (the Alborz Mountains in the strictest sense) runs from west to east along the entire southern coast of the Caspian Sea, while the Eastern Alborz runs in a northeasterly direction towards the northern parts of the Khorasan region southeast of the Caspian Sea. Mount Damavand, the highest mountain in Iran, is located in the Central Alborz Mountains.

Yazd (Persian: استان یزد) is one of the 30 provinces of Iran. It is in the centre of the country, and its center is Yazd.
The province has an area of 73,467 km², and according to the most recent divisions of the country, is divided into ten counties: Maybod, Mehreez, Taft, Ardakan, Behabad, Khatam, Sadogh, Bafq, Abar Kooh and Yazd, the capital. According to the 1996 census, Yazd province had a population of about 750,769, of which 75.1% were urban residents while 24.9% resided in rural areas. In 2006, Yazd had an estimated population of 1,033,291.[1] The city of Yazd is the economic and administrative capital of the province and therefore the most heavily populated.
In the course of history due to its distance from important capitals and its harsh natural surrounding, Yazd remained immune to major troops' movements and destruction from wars, therefore it kept many of its traditions, city forms and architecture until recent times.
Yazd hails from an ancient history. As an example, Tehran University and Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization have teamed up with France's CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) to carry out archeological studies in Yazd province as part of a project aiming at preparing archeological plans of the area from the Mesolithic era.[3]
During the invasion of Genghis Khan in the early 13th century, Yazd became a safehaven and home for many artists, intellectuals, and scientists fleeing their war ravaged cities across Persia.
Yazd was visited by Marco Polo in 1272 A.D, who described it as a good and noble city and remarked its silk production industry. Isolated from any approach by a huge tract of monotonous desert, the vibrancy of Yard often comes as a surprise.
Although more often described as the entrance to a now non-existent bazaar, the chief function of this building known as a Tekyeh, and the square before it, was to host the Ta'ziyeh, a cycle of passion plays commemorating the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali, which takes place once a year during the mourning month of Moharram. The site dates from the fifteenth century amid the efforts of its eponymous builder, Amir Jalal Al-Din Chakhmagh, governor of Yazd.
For a brief period, Yazd was the capital of Atabakan and Mozaffarid dynasties. During the Qajar Dynasty (18th Century A.D.) it was ruled by the Bakhtiari Khans.
Amidst the immense surrounding desert, Yazd retains elements of its old religion, traditions, and architecture, which is recognized by UNESCO for its architectural heritage[4]. In 2004, the Majles allocated funds to help restore historical sites in Yazd inorder to nominate Yazd as a Cultural Heritage city by UNESCO.[5]
The word Yazd means feast and worship. The city of Yazd has resisted the modern urbanization changes and has so far maintained its traditional structure. The geographical features of this region have prompted residents to develop special architectural styles. For this reason, in the older part of the city most houses are built of adobe and have domed roofs (gonbad). These materials serve as an excellent insulation preventing heat from passing through.
The existence of special ventilation structures, called Badgirs is a distinctive feature of the architecture of this city (A Badgir is a high structure on the roof under which, in the interior of the building, there is a small pool).
The Jame Mosque (Friday Mosque) of Yazd crowned by a pair of minarets, the highest in Persia, the portal's facade is decorated from top to bottom in dazzling tile work, predominantly blue in colour.
