The first place which I visited in Kashan was Abbasian house which is a large historical house built in 18th century. I went there together with Mehdi before his depature to Tehran on Sunday 16th April. In the evening I walked in the bazaar alone and I was offered a tea. The following day my host Mohammad was busy and I visited Kashan by myself. There are many beautiful places as you can see below.
I was followed by two small children in the Shahzadeh-ye Ibrahim shrine. It was obligatory to wear a chador there and it was provided at the entrance. The children asked me for money and they took a photo of me in return.
Then I went to visit Sultan Mir Ahmad hammam which is a traditional public bathhouse.
Here you can see the rooftop of Sultan Mir Ahmad hamman.
Tabatabei house which was built in 1880's.
In the afternoon at 3pm I went on a desert trip. We stopped on our way at the adobe castle in Nooshabad. It was scary to walk on the narrow path on the top. Afterwards we visited a water cistern.
Imamzadeh Helal-ebne Ali Shrine in Aran is an astonishing place. The chador was obligatory there.
In front of this mosque there are graves of martyrs of the Iran-Iraq war.
After visiting the mosque we finally went to a desert. We saw a camel there with her baby. You can see a video of them here.
Then we went to the Namak lake which means salt lake. It is very shallow.

We made it just on time to see a sunset in a desert. We climbed a big sand dune and watched it from there.
Afterwards we waited until the dinner was prepared. There were tents for the people who were going to spend a night in the desert, we sat outside and we talked about our trips. There was nobody around so it was safe to remove a headscarf. We were served rice, chicken and eggplant. We returned to Kashan late in the evening. I had a long conversation with Mohammad who insisted to make me a massage and we went to sleep very late. I left Kashan on 18th April in the morning and continued travelling to Abyaneh and Isfahan.
