Iran oasis stands out in desert

Shazdeh Garden in Kerman Province, Iran, is a stunning example of what can be achieved in even the most arid of landscapes.

The garden, which was built in the Qajar era is located on a rectangular land and is famed for its beautiful water fountains.

In the photo taken by Saman Rafsanjani, you can view cascading streams of water flowing over connected fountains.

Despite its location in the middle of a desert, the garden is an oasis of green life, with a wide variety of flowers, fountains, and trees thriving in the cooler, sheltered environment.

The garden is a popular tourist destination and is well worth a visit if you find yourself in this part of Iran.
