The Land Where the Sun Rises

Khorasan, meaning “the land where the sun rises”, is a land of vast deserts, fertile valleys, sacred shrines, and timeless caravan routes. Once a vital crossroads on the Silk Road, it served as a gateway between Persia, Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Today, Khorasan continues to enchant travelers with its deep cultural heritage, natural beauty, and spiritual significance. The spiritual heart, home to the magnificent Imam Reza Shrine, a pilgrimage destination visited by millions each year.

Once a thriving Silk Road hub, famous for turquoise mines, Sufi poets like Attar, and traces of Persian intellectual life. Historic towns with ancient mosques, caravanserais, and mystic Sufi heritage. From the rugged Kopet Dag mountains and lush orchards to the golden stretches of desert, Khorasan offers landscapes for adventurers and dreamers alike.
