The night was not as cold as I had expected it to be. It was almost the end of the tour and as I sat out in the courtyard of the Bali hotel in Khur, I thought about Iran and my experience till date. The sky was one of those which we put our telescopes to and observe the stars when it is so clear in more habitable locales. For the dessert, though it was this for most of the year.<\/p>\n

My first experience with the desert was camping in the Sahara. It started out as a day trip but then it was recommended, to stay the night. As I sat looking at the sky that night in Khur, I thought about the night in Sahara. Khur was different, there were people around and dinner was not served by the fire but in an indoor seating dining hall. The great salt desert of Iran was the important key in our itinerary to Iran, for it took Iran living in monuments and streets, and got it straight to nature.<\/p>\n

The dessert is a mix of white of the salt, a brown of the dunes, the emerald of the Salt Lake and the green of the palms in its oasis. This array of colors was very welcoming and made the Dasht e Kavir or the great salt desert of Iran to stand out. Then, of course, there is the hospitality of its people. If the cities are welcoming, the dessert is a touch above. True, that tourism only came here about a couple of years ago, so the facilities feel rustic, but that at the end still feels exclusive. To feel exclusive.<\/p>\n
