Iran city boasts fruitful golden roofs

The Iranian city of Kharv is home to the best quality plums dried on residents' rooftops. 

The city located in Razavi Khorasan with breathtaking natural landscapes is the main producer of plums for export to India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Arab countries.   

In addition to the city's natural attractions, plum season causes the rooftops to turn golden as residents dry the fruit there.

The drying process takes several weeks and results in a delicious, sweet, and nutritious snack.

Plums are an important part of Iranian culture and cuisine, and they are used in a variety of dishes, from stews to desserts.

Drying plums is a tradition that has been passed down for generations, and it is something that everyone in the city looks forward to each year. If you find yourself in this city during plum harvest season, be sure to take in all the sights and smells of this special time of year in Kharv.
