The Lut Desert, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the hottest places on Earth — and one of the most spectacular. Near Shahdad, giant wind-carved ridges called kaluts glow red at sunset, and the night sky is among the darkest you will ever see.
Highlights
- Sunset among the kaluts of Shahdad
- Stargazing from a desert camp
