In the heart of the desert, people were at the mercy of nomadic raids. To protect himself, the inhabitants of Nooshabad, this little bourgado, a few minutes away from Kashan by taxi, built a veritable underground maze, a city free from light, where everyone could find refuge quickly. The entries were known only to residents of the neighborhood, hidden in wells or behind furniture, and staircases plunged rapidly to almost 15 m underground. There, traps, labyrinths and guards hidden in anfractuosities continued to guarantee the security of refugees.

The city was largely refurbished over 1 km, but it is believed that the total range of galleries is 4 km.

At the exit, don't miss the special Nooshabad coffee: Turkish coffee with cinnamon, cocoa and rose water. He must simmer 5:00 for the ingredients to marry perfectly.

Très peu touristique car pas encore connu, vaut le détour. Évidemment c'est un peu en-dehors des circuits traditionnels déjà chargés, mais quel ingéniosité dans l'élaboration de ce labyrinthe.
