Na'inنائین
Visit Na'in for a day trip (6–8 h) to see its historic mosque, bazaar and qanat watermill; stay only if you want desert trekking or carpet shopping.
Na'in is a small desert town in Isfahan province with a compact historic centre, famous mosques, a pre‑Islamic fortress and world‑renowned carpets. Most sights fit into a half‑day, but desert trekking or carpet workshops justify an overnight stay.
