Oqab Mountain near Taft welcomes visitors
According to IRNA, the mountain, which from a distance resembles a seated eagle, is located along the Yazd-Shiraz highway, 35 kilometers west of Yazd, in Taft.
Oqab Mountain captures the attention of everyone passing by, and its calm and beautiful natural setting brings a sense of joy and wonder to visitors.
Shaped like a giant eagle resting on the ground, the mountain stands in a pristine natural landscape that offers a peaceful space for people to enjoy.
Due to its proximity to the historic village of Eslamieh in Taft and its location along the Yazd-Shiraz road, visitors can find nearby services such as restaurants, food stores, drinking water, and vehicle repair facilities.
Oqab Mountain is a natural and attractive destination for all people, especially tourists, and is visited each year by many domestic and foreign travelers.
Rising to nearly 2,000 meters above sea level, the mountain stands alone with striking beauty, like an eagle in the middle of the desert, giving it a majestic presence in the region. Located near the villages of Farashah and Eslamieh, the natural landscape of Oqab Mountain has been registered as a National Heritage Site in Iran.
Tamehr Spring, located 13 kilometers east of Oqab Mountain, and the Eslamieh Cave, about 30 kilometers away, are among the nearby attractions.
The origins of Oqab Mountain are said to date back to the early Second Geological Period. Toward the end of that era, the structure of other parts of the mountain changed, and it gained greater height.
During the Fourth Geological Period, the limestone body of Oqab Mountain in Farashah was heavily eroded by the drop in temperature, severe frost, and the thaw that followed, resulting in significant chemical and mechanical weathering.
The center of Taft is located 20 kilometers from the city of Yazd.
