Iran-The City Of Dwarves

An Iranian tourism activist visits a mud-brick structure known as the City of Dwarves, located on the western edge of the Lut Desert near the city of Kerman, 1,335 kilometers (830 miles) southeast of Tehran, Iran, on May 22, 2025. The City of Dwarves of Shahdad, which archaeological reports indicate dates back more than five thousand years, is one of the most mysterious ancient sites in Iran. It is located on the western edge of the Lut Desert, near the city of Shahdad in Kerman Province. This ancient city is known as the ''City of Dwarves'' due to its unique architecture and the small size of its houses, alleys, and living facilities. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
