Enjoy water sports in Tehran’s Fashafuyeh Lake
Tehran has no beaches. When you visit its periphery, you either reach the desert or mountains; forests and beaches belong to the other side of the mountains.
If you travel toward Imam Khomeini International Airport, before reaching the airport, at kilometer 18 of the Tehran–Qom highway, you will see a lake that has all the leisure facilities of Kish and Qeshm islands. It is the destination of any tourist traveling around Tehran, visitiran.ir reported.
Water sports are available in Fashafuyeh Lake Complex only during the warm seasons, beginning in the middle of spring and lasting until about October. You can also go there in other seasons and enjoy other fun activities such as car racing and horse riding.
Boat riding is one of the most popular activities you can undertake in the lake. Different kinds of boats such as motorboats, kayaks, and slaloms are available to choose from.
Water skiing: To do this in Fashafuyeh Lake Complex, two separated water boards are attached to your feet, you will stand on water, and a boat will pull you on the water by the rope you hold in your hands.
Jet skiing: Jet ski is a kind of water motor that is so light that it would rarely drown. With basic instructions, you can ride it on the water and enjoy an exciting experience.
Water shuttle is a ride that looks like a UFO. You can sit on it and lean back while holding its handles to avoid falling in the water. A motorboat pulls the shuttle by a rope.
Cable skiing: This is also a type of water skiing. To do it, you will put both of your feet on one board, and a cable attached higher than the water level pulls the board.
Flyboarding: This is one of the most exciting water rides you can experience. The boards use the force from pumping water to raise you up to twelve meters above the water. You can move freely and perform show tricks on the board.
