Kashan is a warm and dry city which is located in the middle of a big desert and one of the most important cities of Isfahan providence. You will see some of most beautiful and historical places which reflect Iran culture.
Important point is specially in Iran, cities that are located around the deserts, encouraged the culture and traditions and also art and philosophy. You can find authenticity in these cities such as Isfahan, Shiraz, Natanz, Abiyaneh and Kashan itself.
I takes at least 2 or 3 days for you to visit Kashan perfectly. Once you step in the city, you will see there are so much to see and feel. You also be more relaxed and away from modern world anxiety.
Note: Kashan is a religious (Islamic) city. I mean the people themselves still prefer to keep their believes in Kashan. So don’t worry you will find them so kind and friendly until you don’t disrespect their believes. Just try to adopt with them a little. About your clouts, just a normal Iranian clouts with a scarf for covering your hair. Not so tight, just respect the city atmosphere.

Day 5, Fin Garden
If you want to back to north of Iran for example Tehran, you can visit Fin Garden in the last day on the way back to Tehran. But if you want to go to Isfahan and other cities, visit Fin Garden when you want to leave Kashan to Abyaneh. Depends on your preference. But don’t miss this garden. Why?
When you step inside this garden you see lots of tree (in fact more than 570 Pinophyta trees) and water stream which is all around the garden and that is amazing because you are in the middle of a big DESERT! You will see in the video. They have managed underground waters to the garden amazingly!
There is also another reason that makes this garden so special which is Fin Bathroom. This bathroom is famous because they murdered Amir Kabir one of the grates prime ministers in whole Iran history in this bathroom. If you are interested to know about him, you can find books and also a persian series called “سریال امیرکبیر”.
