Iran-Historical 33-Bridge And Dried-up Zayandeh Rud River
Swan-shaped boats lie on the dried-up riverbed of the Zayandeh Rud River as the Si-o-se-pol (33-Bridge) historical bridge is seen in the background in Isfahan, Iran, on February 22, 2025. The Zayandeh Rud is one of the main tourist attractions of Isfahan, which has completely dried up. Historical bridges such as the 33-Bridge on the river may be damaged due to the subsidence of the Zayandeh Rud riverbed if the drought continues. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
