Jondaq Corridor

Between Jandaq and Ribat Ab-e Ushturan lies the dry interior of the Iranian plateau. Jandaq stands on the southern edge of the Dasht-e Kavir, while the fortified ribat was a stopping place on the route between Saghand and Tabas. Salt desert and barren ground separate the scattered settlements of this region, where even a short journey could take travellers far from reliable water.
