Maranjab Desert

The Maranjab Desert (Persian: کویر مرنجاب) is a desert region located in the northern part of Aran and Bidgol County, in Isfahan province, central Iran. It is part of the Dasht-e Kavir basin and is characterized by sand dunes, salt pans, and seasonal wetlands. The area contains historical structures such as the Maranjab Caravansarai, constructed in 1603. Despite its arid conditions, the desert supports salt-tolerant vegetation and various species of wildlife, including reptiles and birds. The region is also a site of recreational activities, though concerns have been raised about the environmental impact of tourism.
