A journey into the Great Salt Desert of Iran. Dasht-e Kavir

In February 2022, I managed to cross a distance of 216 km alone and on foot through the central desert of Iran.
The pictures you will see are related to the most unknown part of the earth.

Some years ago I cycled from the holy city of Mashad to Esfehan across this desert. It was tough, remote and spell-binding from the saddle. The drone footage of the video gives an even better idea of just how wild and forbidding it really was. Listened to JJ Cale and drank bootleg vodka in the desert city of Tabas to recover.

Oh wow!

I'm so proud of you guys. Fantastic.

Thank you! I’m fascinated by deserts and I want to become a scientist. I knew about Dasht-e Lut but I did not know about Dasht-e Kavir. Your video is professional and high-quality.

[@aydinabadani]

Thank you, I hope you will see the central desert soon

thanks

[@ariadivanchi4891]

Thanks so much for your great hard work, fantastic to watch. But why there is not any essential information regarding the elevation of the various points or at least a mean point of this vast desert from the sea level? Also, why did not you show any images of the writings/symbols which you talked about?

[@aydinabadani]

This film was prepared for a festival and probably has some flaws... Thank you for your attention

[@sandramacfie8011]

Interesting from above. I would have loved seeing what these vistas looked like from the ground.

[@aydinabadani]

Everything is very rough from the ground...in a few days I will upload the route I took from my point of view

[@scarborosasquatchstation1403]

Incredible journey across this lonely desolate desert landscape... The Great Salt Desert of Iran... How did you manage your water supply ? Thanks 😎🙏

[@aydinabadani]

At first, I put 10 liters of water in my backpack, and the team that brought me to that part of the desert put another 10 liters of water for me halfway.

[@BLAKEN910]

nice video, but the back round music was loader or same level as commentator

[@aydinabadani]

try it with another sound system

[@bartlipori2643]

This looks more like Mars than Earth

[@aydinabadani]

exactly

[@dubtv6160]

That thumbnail looks crazyyyyyy😂😂😂😅

[@ebifromnorway]

Have you not found oil there yet? Love Iran

[@aydinabadani]

No, but there is

[@ebifromnorway]

​@@aydinabadani Thank you for sharing :)

[@AjaataShatru]

Indian subcontinent lifting Asia made it possible for Iran to come out of the sea bed. Meanwhile, BJP has blamed Congress for it. 😮😮😮

[@nimashakery3036]

سلام واقعا پیاده این مسیر رو طی کردید ؟

[@aydinabadani]

سلام، بله ،بعضی از فیلمها وقتی با ماشین داشتیم به نقطه شروع میرسیدیم گرفتم

[@user-vd1uz3dj8l]

It's a shame. As an American I will never be able to travel there in person. Not because of the people, but because of our governments. Does look like Jupiter or Mars. More iteresting than Death Valley. U.S.A.

[@aydinabadani]

Unfortunately, traveling to Iran has its own problems... the central desert is one of the most special deserts in the world, which has been less explored

[@michaelfranklinwhibley2935]

Easy to make out what the howling women are saying does the Drone go any higher

[@ozgurcelik14]

I see Iran's relations with its neighbours due to severe delusions of grandeur over decades.
