Nice pics. The girl in pic 10 looks Indian.

She is probably a Baloch. Many Baloch live in Southern Iran. Iranians don't usually have dark skin color.

If you like Kurdish villages - they are poor and rustic but perched by scenic mountains - this is the best video I found of Kurdish villages of Iran (worth watching till the end, gets better)

"I don't why Iran is known as a desert country, whereas there are just 3 desert provinces among about 30 provinces in Iran, of course I like those three ones more than others!"

That was my exact perception, a desert country. This is definitely eye opening to me.

Wow, this is good. The Kurdish village looks amazing.

But I guess the best one is this Iranian village "Kondovan" which has cave houses. These houses have been in use since the time of stone age some 7000 BC. And the amazing thing is that people are still living in them since those times:

The place amazingly also has a hotel which is a big cave house of the area:

Sorry but I cannot be amazed by these pictures of the natural environment of Iran or anywhere else, because I have seen the beauty of Kashmir and North Pakistan.
