Rig-e Yalan is uniquely positioned where three vast Iranian provinces—South Khorasan, Kerman, and Sistan-Balouchistan—converge, creating an expansive desert landscape that captivates both the eyes and the adventurous spirit.

At first glance, these sand dunes may appear to be nothing more than a visual spectacle. Yet, for off-road enthusiasts and desert sports aficionados, Rig-e Yalan is a paradise. The shifting sands and towering dunes provide a thrilling terrain for driving, dune-bashing, and other adrenaline-fueled activities.

Recognized as an international tourist destination, Rig-e Yalan has been featured by Travelpedia as one of the world’s 12 most exciting tourist spots.
