Shahzadeh Garden 

Shahzadeh Garden is located in an idyllic spot like a green oasis in the heart of the desert. Behind the complex are haughty mountains covered in snow. This garden is a typical example of Persian garden; the main building which is surrounded by trees, with ponds refreshing the environment. This garden represents the human tendency to develop an environment to remain connected with nature. Walk through this magnificent garden and admire the beauty of its pavilions and refreshing pure air in the middle of the desert.
