Khur Salt Lake
Located in the heart of the central desert of Iran between the four provinces of Semnan, Isfahan, Yazd and South Khorasan, Khur Salt Lake (Biyabanak) is a mirror where you can watch the sunny sky of the desert.
As the largest seasonal salt lake in the country (200,000 hectares), this lake is one of the most distinct tourist attractions in Iran.
What are the most important natural features of Khur Lake?
Lake of Khur has little depth due to intense evaporation in the heat of the day, so you should not expect to see water in this place. But this evaporation and huge temperature difference between night and day in the desert (about 32 degrees Celsius) has created the attractions of the lake. The mentioned temperature difference breaks the salt surfaces and removes the moisture inside the ground, a phenomenon that leads to the creation of polygons (irregular polygonal geometric shapes) that enchant the eyes. It is interesting to know that Khur Lake is a very rich source of potassium; a natural resource that has made experts believe that if sufficient investment is made, the world's need for this element can be met.
Important points when visiting the lake
You can travel to the lake in any season, but you are recommended to travel in the cool seasons due to the scorching desert environment of the lake. You should definitely note that the rains of the cold seasons can turn the ground into a swamp of salt water, so traveling at this time requires full vigilance and precision. Being the best option for staying in the desert, the ecotourism residences around the lake double the pleasure of your visit.
