SAEDNEWS: Shahid Rajaei Dam, also known as Soleiman Tangeh Dam, is 45 kilometers southwest of Sari, located in Dodangeh District, near the village of Afrachal.
Nestled alongside the Tajan River, the village of Aramesh—meaning “Tranquility”—has welcomed visitors since 2000, offering a perfect retreat for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Guests can enjoy overnight stays in well-equipped villas, explore the crest of Shahid Rajaee Dam, or indulge in water activities like sailing and water skiing.
Nearby, Soleiman Tangeh offers breathtaking views of the lush landscapes and the sparkling lake created by the dam. The village of Aramesh, with its expansive villa complexes, meets high-quality standards and has become a favored destination for travelers seeking comfort and serenity amid nature.
This year, the Shahid Rajaee Dam overflowed for the fifth time in six years. With a water storage capacity of 5.162 million cubic meters and a flow of 20 cubic meters per second, it ensures an abundant water supply for farmers downstream. The overflow also brings exciting news for renewable energy enthusiasts: the dam’s hydropower plant, with a 13.5-megawatt capacity, is set to become fully operational in the coming days, producing clean energy for the region.
From scenic beauty and adventure to supporting agriculture and green energy, Aramesh and Shahid Rajaee Dam offer a unique combination of tourism, nature, and sustainable development—a must-visit destination in northern Iran.
