“Matin Abad co-lodge” was founded by some tourism managers in 2008. This eco-lodge is located in the middle of desert and sand dunes, 45 kilometers away
from Kashan. Protecting the nature and promoting sustainable tourism has been
the main reason for founding “Matin Abad”. 70 percent of the required energy in
this Eco lodge is provided by the sunlight and the managers are focused on
classifying and recycling the waste in order to protect the environment.
The central building is constructed like the caravansarais, built
in deserts of Iran many years ago. There are 7 rooms available in the main building, decorated
like old Iranian houses with comfortable beds and mattresses and 20 tents
around the caravanserai building, suitable for accommodation during both winter
and summer because of the traditional heating and cooling systems embedded in
them. The tents are simply decorated with traditional objects like kilims and
old cushions. 13 small rooms called “Koumeh” are built in the area with brick
walls and domed roofs, representing the old houses in the desert.
Different activities are available in “Matin Abad Eco-lodge”:
Going through the heart of this endless
desert and exploring Karkas peak and the stunning sand dunes on a bicycle
or on foot.
Camel back riding in the vast desert that is so exciting and fun especially
when the camel walks up and down on the dunes.
Using available telescopes for exploring the amazing night sky with
millions of stars and meteorites and learning about astronomy.
The delicious Iranian cuisines served in “Matin Abad” are so healthy and some of the
ingredients are from the organic farm located by this eco-lodge.
