I am a 51 year old man, with the 13 years experience in handling many incoming tours as a professional Eco cultural guide; I am a lover of traveling in deserts and of specialist camping tours. I have explored most parts of Central and Lut deserts with other deserts lovers from many nations in my own 4WD car; there mankind will find the extremity of the beauty of nature, such as flat plains with different and beautiful colors, magnificent heights, sand dunes, salt lakes, elegance and astonishing hills which are look like imaginary cities from faraway and. I will be glad to send the pictures of what you could see if you kindly contact me. I wish I can meet all desert lovers here in Iran.
Experience: 13 years experience in handling many tours from many European countries, Canada and USA to most parts of Iran especially desert tours and finding routes by GPS in desert. Also I have guided tours to all the provinces and small and big cities. I am interested in traveling in deserts and spending nights under the shining stars, and enjoying the sunny days, I have traveled all parts of Central desert and some parts of Lut desert by my own 4WD car and most of the time my friends and I have traveled with groups in 3 or 4 or 5 cars. As I am a tourist guide I do both jobs (driver and tourist guide) I prepare all facilities that we need in the desert. Desert tours also includes visiting ancient and historic cities and villages and accommodation in hotels and camping.
