Abouzeidabad Caravanserai Hotel
Contacts:
The ancient Abouzeidabad Caravanserai Hotel is located
around 30 km out of the city of Kashan, but it offers convenient access
to Kashan's deserts such as Maranjab Desert and also to Abyaneh Red Village.
Deserts are some of the most popular eco-tourism destinations in Iran. The first
priority for people on such tours is being as close as possible to the unsullied
environment of dunes. For them modern accommodation amidst nature is anathema
since they believe that using anything other than the local natural material for
building a shelter is tampering with the environment and detrimental to its
natural course. Some service providers in accommodation sectors answer the call
of such people with building ecolodges with very basic amenities. That satisfies
the most radical of nature lovers but how about people who want to relish the
joys of a desert tour with their families and little children? Couldn’t we find
a compromise between the demands of both parties.
Abouzeidabad Caravanserai Hotel is the perfect combination of the comforts of a hotel clothed
in the wonderful body of a 17th century caravanserai. Abouzeidabad Hotel is
located in Abouzeidabad, Isfahan province, Iran 38 km southeast of Kashan. It is
one of the few Safavid caravanserais in Iranian deserts that is still open to
weary travelers and tourists. Also known as Abrouz Hotel, the caravanserai has
29 chambers with flexible capacity (between 1 to 5 people). The owners of the
hotel did an impeccable job renovating the old caravanserai without the least
damage to the authentic masterful architecture of the place. To observe the
authenticity of the caravanserai, nothing is added to the original plan. That
means bathrooms and showers are outside the rooms but they are very clean and
well-equipped. Another great advantage of lodging in Abouzeidabad Hotel is the
superb culinary experience you get while tasting its delectable local dishes.
This fascinating desert abode is a true oddity among
Kashan hotels
in regard to location. But as far as historic hotels go, you will find many
other great options in Kashan’s accommodation sector. In fact, some of the best
hotels in Kashan are in the form of stately historic mansions with all the glory
of Iranian architecture of the past three centuries. In the latter category,
namely traditional accommodation options, Kashan’s hotels are truly matchless in
Iran both in terms of diversity and quality of service. Not all of these options
are expensive though. You will find plenty of cheap hotels in Kashan especially
near the old town where most of the sightseeing spots lie. If you wish for an
even more economic choice, Kashan’s guesthouses and hostels are the perfect
place for you. They are cheap but have all you need for a convenient overnight
stay.
As a result of its unique collection of tourist attractions and great
accommodation facilities, Kashan is among the most visited cities in Iran. That
is why, people traveling to Kashan are always recommended to choose their hotels
prior to their arrival and if possible book a room in advance.

Abyaneh Red Village and Maranjab Desert are two of the most popular spots for
these group tours.
Abyaneh Red Village Tours
For a small city, Kashan boasts strikingly glorious historic monuments and
marvelous landscapes. And if you add a couple of tourist spots around it to the
list of Kashan’s attractions, the result would be spectacular. Abyaneh
(nicknamed the Red Village after its red soil) is the given name for a charming
little rural area in a mountainous region south of Kashan. The village is known

ancestors.
Maranjab Desert Tour
Maranjab desert
tour combines many aspects of the region
; there are
sand dunes, camel rides and natural
and historic spots and the starry nights of the desert. The most sought-after
option in Kashan desert tours, Maranjab welcomes the visitors by its expansive
dunes and natural and historic sites such as Maranjab Salt Lake and Maranjab
Caravanserai. The panoramic view of the infinite expanse of dunes in
Maranjab desert will undoubtedly be
one of the highlights of your journey in Iran. If it is your first time in a
desert and you are traveling on your own you should consider some very important
issues related to the region. Above all, you need to know your way around the
dunes and for that you have to get the latest update of Maranjab desert map.
Another thing you must check online before embarking on your trip is Maranjab
desert weather forecast. This is very crucial considering the severe temperature
changes in deserts. Maranjab lies in Dasht-e Kavir, the largest of two
massive deserts (the other being Lut Desert) that constitute most of Iran’s
desert area. There are other extraordinary spots in Dasht-e Kavir such as Chah
Aroos Desert and Siazgeh Desert with equally fantastic sights. Siazgeh Desert is
especially popular due to a spectacular historic caravanserai in its vicinity
which is probably the best desert accommodation in Iranian deserts. Abouzeidabad
Caravanserai is a masterpiece of Iranian architecture of the 17th century. The
caravanserai has been renovated recently and now functions under the name of
Abrouz Hotel.

might sound odd but one reason people come to Kashan is accommodation. The city
boasts some of the finest historic hotels in Iran. These magnificent mansions
with their huge yards and mesmerizing decorations are the epitome of
authenticity and serenity. Most of these hotels require online booking but on
the rare occasion that they accept you without prior reservation, you need to
pay in Iran’s currency, rial. You can change your money easily in Tehran and
other major cities, so that won’t be a problem. But what will happen if you run
out of money? Before the lifting of the nuclear sanctions that was a major
problem but now you can
transfer money to
Iran any time you want.
