Yazd, Local Tile Work On Display

---

Located in the center of Iran, Yazd Province (Ostān-e Yazd) has an area of 131,575 km² and a population of approximately 1 million. It is situated at an oasis where the Dasht-e Kavir desert and the Dasht-e Lut desert meet. The city of Yazd itself is sometimes called "the bride of the Kavir" because of its location, in a valley between Shir Kuh, the tallest mountain in the region at 4,075 m above sea level, and Kharaneq. Yazd is famous for its local tile work.
