South Khorasan lies on Iran’s eastern frontier, a dry province of mountains, saffron fields and desert towns. Its capital Birjand is known for the Akbarieh Garden, a UNESCO-listed qanat-fed oasis, and for its citadel and traditional houses.The old town of Qaen has an ancient mosque and a brick citadel, and the area is the centre of Iran’s saffron and barberry production. South Khorasan tour packages are quiet and cultural. Spring and autumn are the best seasons, as summers are hot and winters cold.
