The vast land of Iran covers a very diverse natural topography, ranging from magnificent beaches stretching for miles to mysterious arid deserts. Comparing these natural attractions with similar wonders in other countries proves that Iran is truly a hidden gem in Western Asia, which is barely recognized and valued.
