Ali Sadr cave/ Hamedan province

 The most exciting tourist attraction or historical monuments of Hamedan province is Ali Sadr Cave, which is more than 190 years old. The length of this cave is about 11 km and its height above sea level is approximately 2100 meters. It is interesting to know that only 3 km of this beautiful cave can be reached and 8 km of it has not been discovered yet due to the difficult route.



The people of Ali Sadr village had realized the existence of Ali Sadr Cave for many years and used its water, but this cave was first visited and excavated in 1342 by 14 members of the mountaineering group.


Due to the narrowness of the cave, which was about 50 cm, only professional mountaineers could hardly enter the cave, until in 1353, Abdullah Hajiloo, the head of the Hamedan Mountaineering Board, with the help of locals, the opening of the cave was 5 meters wide. And opened a height of 3 meters, then resumed the necessary measures to visit this historic cave, such as retrieving the route, lighting and other items, and finally in 1976, it became possible for the public to visit Ali Sadr Cave.



The cave has corridors, narrow and winding roads and a large lake in the center. It is interesting to know that the depth of this lake in different parts is between half to 14 meters and the depth of some of its underground holes will reach up to 40 meters. The water of Ali Sadr Cave Lake is very cool and clear and has no special color or smell. This historical cave was included in the list of natural heritage of Iran in 2008.

Is it possible to drive in Iran?

 Iran is becoming increasingly popular as a tourist destination. Rightly so, if you ask us, because this beautiful country deserves more positive attention. Although public transport in Iran is well-organized, we chose to rent a car in Iran. The freedom that comes with renting a car guarantees that you will reach places where tourists will usually never come. Traffic in Iran is very chaotic and sometimes unpredictable, but we survived! During our trip to Iran, we got a pretty clear picture of what to look out for and what you need to know before immersing yourself in a game called trafficking in Iran.

Wank Church was built by Armenian immigrants during the reign of Shah Abbas Safavid; Of course, its original shape was different from today's building. Initially, the church had only a religious application for Christians; But today the greatest attention is paid to the historical dimension and the cultural attraction of the church. The Julfa district of Isfahan, where the Wank Church is located, has long been home to Armenian immigrants in Iran.
