    Naybandan National Park in photos

    Located in Tabas City, South Khorasan Province, Naybandan National Park is the largest protected area in Iran. This area of 1 million 422 thousand hectares, which is located deep in the central desert, was put under protection as a national park in 2001. What makes Naybandan stand out is its complete remoteness and being surrounded by desert plains from all sides. Naybandan is a region with the least human presence and the least industrial and agricultural activities, and this has provided relatively pristine natural conditions for the animals living in the national park.
