As in most comparable towns, the vast desert landscapes are among the main attractions. The Maranjab desert to the north holds salt lakes, sand dunes and vast flatlands with desert vegetation. There's a fairly rich desert flora and fauna, with animals including jackals, sand cats and the odd leopard spotting. The Maranjab caravansary is one of the main sights, reminding of days long past when Silk Road travellers on their way from Europe to Asia or back would find a place to rest here. It now offers accommodation to modern day travellers.

Do edit

Visitors may want to arrange for a desert trip by camel or horseback.
