The word desert, in Iran, is generally referred to a dry, waterless parts. In international scientific sources, when it comes to Iranian deserts, including the province of Yazd, the same desert word is used, but in the desert of Yazd province, this term includes desolate, ravaged and non-psychic deserts, and the worst shape of Desert is attributed to salt-covered and infertile zones.
The deserts of Yazd province include: Siah Kuh, Deranjir, Abarkuh, Zarrin, Marvast, and desert of Saghand, Bahadoran, Allah Abad, Tut, Taghestan and Shahidieh. These deserts have the potential for tourism in the desert areas.
Among the diverse tourism resources in Iran, the desert also has its own attractions.
Especially since some of Iran's deserts are unique and are considered to be the most interesting sights of the world. Walking among the vast spaces that look distant, being surprised in the landscape of sandy and dry sandstones, historical buildings, shadows of single villages, lateritious buildings, simple buildings, caravansaries are fascinating for every tourist.

Varied types of desert plants beside the sandy hills and the remnants of the fortresses destroyed by the advent of the desert, along with advanced villages and the lace which the Gaz grows that prevent desert growth everywhere and are in form of a grove in an endless ocean and attract the attention of every newcomer.
The main and perhaps the only natural and spectacular hotspot in this province is the Shirkuh slopes.
These altitudes, which extend alongside the major cities of the province, Ardakan, Meybod, Yazd and Mehriz (apart from Bafgh), have been generating many natural attractions, which are attractive and spectacular primarily for the people of the province and then for travelers. Iranian and foreign are attractive. Shirkhoo slopes, including the foreground, between the mountains and the behind the mountains have good vegetation, due to the abundant water from the melting of snow at high altitudes, and by the efforts of hard-working farmers to become lush and green. And the density of villages around this area is enormous.
