Garmsar hosts largest salt mines in West Asia

With more than 40 salt mines, Garmsar City in north central Iran is home to the largest salt mines in West Asia, holding the great share of salt extraction in the country.

Garmsar shares borders with Damavand from north, with Varamin from west, with Aradan from east, and with the Dasht-e Kavir, Iran's largest desert from south. The city is full of natural and tourist attractions, most notably colorful rocky mountains and the so-called Martian Hills.
