Discover Jiroft, where civilization meets scenic beauty

Spring in southeastern Iran comes alive in Jiroft, a city where nature, history, and culture converge to create a landscape of extraordinary beauty and heritage. Here, spring is not merely a season, but a living narrative of centuries-old civilization, vibrant traditions, and hidden natural treasures.
Jiroft can be described as a land of harmonious contrasts — where water, mountains, valleys, and history come together to form a captivating and rare panorama.
Delfard Waterfall, with its cool climate and pristine surroundings, is one of the region’s most prominent natural attractions. The beautiful and lush Delfard Waterfall is located in the heart of one of the greenest valleys, approximately 25 kilometers north of the city of Jiroft. Once you enter the road from Kerman to Jiroft, after some driving you can reach this stunning attraction. The waterfall sits about 2,000 meters above sea level, which gives it a climate significantly different from that of Jiroft itself. The road that takes you to Delfard Waterfall is winding and twisting, and it is itself a beautiful destination for tourism and picnicking.
One of the most interesting features of Delfard and its waterfall is its climatic diversity. Although Jiroft has a warm climate for most of the year, Delfard enjoys a cold climate due to its high altitude. This allows visitors to see fruits and plants typical of cold regions growing alongside tropical fruits and plants. The region’s extensive vegetation is not only due to its climate but also results from higher rainfall compared to other parts of Kerman. 
Along this route lies a valley often referred to as the Mediterranean Valley due to its four-season climate. In fact, this road is the best option for tourists who intend to travel from Kerman Province to Bandar Abbas and also wish to enjoy the historical and tourist region of Ort, located along the only permanent river in southeastern Iran.
The Mediterranean Valley is considered one of Iran’s premier tourist destinations. It has a Mediterranean climate and is filled with large citrus orchards, especially orange groves, which at this time of year are bursting with spring blossoms. Their delightful fragrance echoes throughout the vast expanse of the valley. Thanks to the flowering of these trees, one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the region is created.
The high, winding roads of this valley and the surrounding mountains are covered with mountain almond bushes. In short, one of the most stunning natural landscapes of Kerman Province can be seen here. A river rich with water flows through this valley, transforming Delfard Valley into the valley of waterfalls and creating the most beautiful natural and touristic scenery in the province.
Jiroft is recognized as the cradle of one of the world’s oldest civilizations, with a history spanning several millennia. A vivid reflection of this legacy can be seen at the Jiroft Archaeological Museum, whose valuable artifacts narrate the story of a civilization that has placed Jiroft prominently on the map of world history.
The scenic Jebalbarez Road, with its striking mountainous views, is considered one of the most delightful access routes to the city. Nearby, a forest park provides a welcoming setting for family recreation and relaxation.
The Esmaili District, through which the Jiroft-Boluk road passes, plays an important connective role. In addition, its extensive greenhouses and lush farmlands stand as a clear symbol of the region’s dynamic and modern agricultural sector.
Alongside these capacities, historical sites such as the Konar Sandal Hills, the mosque of the old city of Jiroft, and the remains of the ancient settlement vividly showcase the deep historical identity of this land.
