Polond Desert
This desert is 40 km away from Ferdows city and is adjacent to the villages of Chah-Polond, Taherabad, Ibrahimabad, Chahnu, and Kajeh. The desert has its own unique variety of vegetation (including wild barberries, yarrows, red tulips, black cumin, sedge, mountain almond, ephedra, etc.) and animal species (falcons, jackals, foxes, golden eagles, deer, sand cats, caracals, snakes, turtles, etc.).
The mentioned nearest city of Ferdows has a storied past and was formerly known as Tun or maybe even Taban before then. Some claim the Medes to be the founders of this city and some claim that a group of Sagartians were the original inhabitants. Up to the Mongol attack, Ferdows – then Tun – was a well-known and prosperous city both before and throughout the Islamic era.
Salt pans and flats, sandy hills, and desert areas located next to the mountainous regions are among the tourist attractions of this desert that attract many tourists.
