Rooms in the Zein-o-Din caravanserai are nothing more than raised wooden platforms surrounded by canvas curtains. Carpets were headboards, and mattresses on the floor, but all in all, very comfy!

One would think that you would see a lot of camels in the desert, but they are a bit of a stereotype in Iran. This one at the caravanserai was the only one I saw on the two week trip.

Temperature drops rapidly in the desert once the sun goes down. Finally!! The "hejab," my headscarf and trench coat pay off!

The caravanserai had a small door built inside a larger front door. This is a peek through the smaller door at the "front desk."
