in the country, he stated.Neighboring the popular Maranjab desert, Rig-e Boland still lacks proper tourism infrastructure and services, he
added.With an area of approximately 168,000 hectares, Rig-e Boland is home to different types of dunes
The general structure of dunes is mainly light sandy, and in some places, it is accompanied by gypsum and quartz particles
The Rig-e Boland is in a horseshoe shape, starting from the Marnjab region, and extends to the north of Aran-Bidgol county
It is the largest sand field in Isfahan province and the eighth largest dune in the country.Popular for off-roading, Maranjab is one of the
most popular deserts in Iran, situated about 60 Km from Kashan in a northeast direction.The desert is surrounded by a salt lake from the
north, Band-e Rig Desert and National Park from the east, Masileh Desert, Hoz-e sultan and Moreh Lakes from the west and eventually
Aran-Bidgol from the south.ABU/AM
