The car is right there.
and we've climbed one of those mountains
It was short, but a bit hard,
it was very rocky, but there was no danger.
Well maybe a bit, but don't tell my mom.
We are Ramón and Raquel,
and this is El mundo es un viaje.
And today, we show you
Kerman desert.
We're in the bus,
it seems super comfortable.
And nothing.
there's quite a lot of space.
my feet are here.
and stuff around me.
 
And here we have a charging point,
look how happy my legs are.
8 hours like this.
What do you think?
8 hours?
It'll be easy,
I'll sleep all the way.
me too.
And it's quite comfortable,
my head is not hanging forward,
it falls properly,
you can relax and let it fall.
As if you'd fallen from a 5th floor.
when you put your luggage on the cabin,
they give you a sticker with an ID number
to then hand it out and they can't steal your bags.
It's well thought.
See you in 8 hours.
We'll see how we look.
 
each trip has an exhausting moment,
waking up so early it hurts,
or sleeping on the road to gain time,
and save money.
At least, it happens in ours.
but these efforts are worth it
when you see amazing landscapes
like the ones we'll show you.
it's almost 7 a.m.
are we're arriving at Kerman
Ramón...
How did you sleep?
Fine until you woke me up.
It's very hot in here.
they turned the heat on and my legs are burning.
 
we're in Kerman station
after about 8 hours of bus,
they went by very fast,
'cause I slept a lot
almost all the time.
it wasn't extremely comfortable,
but I was so tired I eventually fell asleep.
first thing we did when arrived
was looking for a toilet
we didn't stop once to pee.
or maybe they stopped and we were sleeping.
So I'm waiting for her to come out,
'cause I really need to go.
 
 
 
 
during the morning we visited the historical centre of Kerman,
keep in mind we'd be there only for the morning,
on the afternoon we'd visit
the most astonishing site of our trip through Iran.
 
 
we're in  Ali Khan
caravanserai.
Are we here to see cats or mosques?
I wanna take them all home.
Crazy cat lady.
bye kitty.
 
 
 
 
These are the Ganjali Khan baths,
some traditional baths,
it's cool, it has some statues,
that are a bit creepy, you'll see.
behind me there's one of them.
It's just Raquel.
Ganjeli was the reigning when they were built,
so they called them like that.
Sure he was a cool guy,
'cause everything here has his name.
I wish I had
Ramón's house, Ramón's baths,
Ramón's toilet
let's get in
See why I say the statues are creepy.
Subscribe!
 
 
 
There's the typical wishing well where people throw coins,
but people here are next level, they throw bills!
Make it rain!
 
Something I like about here
is that they thought about me.
they made an archway
minty, so I can fit.
without bending.
That's how it's done.
I'm seen some similarities to Japanese culture,
they had the sowers first to get clean
and then entered the baths area.
where they had different temperatures,
steam baths, they had massages
they did their beauty treatments,
their things,
if you haven't seen the video on the Japanese onsen, to compare it with this one,
we'll leave it here.
we saw men's baths,
and now we'll see women's baths,
which just like in Japan, were separated.
they were very apart,
they had to walk through this exterior hallway.
women's baths are practically the same,
but with some traditional dresses exhibited.
of different areas of Iran.
you also had to pay to visit women's baths,
it was another independent building,
but it was smaller, and the price was cheaper.
the guy told us to come in,
don't pay.
I was like really?
No, no. He did the taroof,
but eventually we went in for free.
Right?
I won't ask you again.
3 is enough.
We're in another caravanserai
right next to the main square.
unlike the other, this one's a bit battered.
we're walking through the bazaar
and this is gorgeous, check this ceilings!
if you want to see her pics,
go check our instagram,
and follow us, you'll see what's going on in our trips
and live,
and see her pictures,
which are amazing.
usually the cookies we've tried here
are quite soft,
is not like a regular cookie,
it's not crunchy, is softer, like a cake.
and they have a lemon taste, that Raquel likes, but I don't.
oh, thank you.
As you can see their hospitality
is on a higher level.
we were here talking, he came
gave me one for me and another for Raquel,
and it's delicious, so we'll buy 2 or 3 more.
there are different ways to attract clients.
in other countries, like Egypt.
they didn't give you anything,
they grabbed you by the ear and dragged you to the store.
they touched you, were annoying,
here he was inside, came out, gave me a cookie,
you'll love it,
and you get in,
by yourself,
'cause you liked it.
let's go.
don't miss on the opportunity and try the sweets
of each city you visit.
Here in Kerman they had a special touch.
 
We got our sweets for only 60 cents,
68 cents, exactly.
and we'll go to the square here,
eat them while chilling,
enjoying the sun,
under the sun it's nice, but on the shadow it's a bit cold.
one of the things I'm liking the most of Kerman,
that's a bit different to the other paces we've visited,
are the peculiar shapes of the ceilings,
in this case, all the concave areas
are ornamented with motives and illustrations,
it's very pretty.
with towers and shapes
Gorgeous.
don't tell me it's not cool this entrance,
it looks like a Persian comic.
During the walk through the bazaar
you can see many caravanserai,
it was the place where
We explained this in former videos,
just in case, we'll leave the Iran playlist
on the description box.
we just entered some baths
but they are no longer baths,
now it's a tea house,
they left it all the same,
but turned into a place
to have tea.
What are we doing'
Writing our journal.
For each trip we write a journal.
and my goal is to someday
do some drawings, Raquel add her pictures
write down all our planning and our route
and who knows, sell them.
Would you be interested?
Leave a comment on your thoughts.
we're passing through. bazaar,
we're in the exterior.
But it's super crowded.
 
We're experts on jaywalking.
it was worse in Tehran.
Yeah,
There was more traffic there,
and here it's easier.
I think now we'll go to the desert.
shall we?
 
 
 
during our way we made a very curious stop.
a well with very
different characteristics.
The acoustics it has
is amazing.
 
now we'll go to our next destination,
we're going to the light.
we were headed to our next to last destination of the day,
a lake in the middle of the desert.
during the heavy rains this area floods
and it's the perfect getaway for Kerman's inhabitants.
Stay tuned til the end,
there's still left the most spectacular of that day.
 
This landscape in incredible,
I didn't expect to see a lake
in the middle of a desert like this one.
it's like muddy,
I almost got stuck there,
I'll clean my shoes don't want to
get on his car with dirty shoes.
check the ice plaques that are formed.
sike! it's not ice, it's salt.
Amazing, right?
they are very solid, to break them
its hard... let's see by throwing them
it won't break, you have to step on it
to break it.
incredible.
Nature
surprises us sometimes.
I'm awed by this.
You must come to Iran right now.
it seems they're filing an Iranian movie,
they're using this exterior
it's wonderful, anybody would want this in their movie.
There are some horses
for an extra shebang to the movie.
it's time for the moment that impressed us the most,
watching the sunset in the desert,
on top of a kalut.
 
 
We had problems to find
a parking spot.
we left the car there,
I don't know if it'll bother someone.
This is so cool!
this looks like a car ad.
Raquel is worse than Chinese,
taking pics of everything,
but no surprise,
every mountain is amazing.
The shapes, the peaks that are formed,
it looks like the Wild West
with cowboys,
or Mars, with aliens.
We saw some water bottles and such,
and picked them up.
'cause I mean,
you can visit this without being a pig.
some responsible tourism please.
We were told they held an ultra marathon here.
for 4 days,
they run 60km per day,
and they have to carry their food.
fortunately there are some water stands,
given by the organization,
but it must be so hard,
It's on September, if anyone's interested.
If someone has done it please tell me,
but I want a picture for proof,
it won't do
just by saying you're a champion.
No way.
I want proof.
Ultra marathon!
Ultra marathon!
 
 
I feel like if I was arriving to Mars
and started explore its surface.
I have this feeling.
how do you feel when seeing this?
 
it's amazing!
So pretty!
 
 
 
 
 
we'll try to get up there
without falling down.
Will we?
 
Ali is taking us to such places...
we really recommend coming with Ali.
He's a crack, knows every corner of the desert.
the lasts steps.
C'me on!
we're on the top, Raquel's a champion.
 
We're done, we climbed one of the mountains,
we'll show you later from the bottom,
Think that before it was all sea.
Sea level went down
and we cans see perfectly the horizontal lines
on how the sea level left a mark as it went down.
Eventually the sea dried,
And the air always blown in this direction, or that one.
We can see this because
the sand, the kaluts here
they are oriented the same way,
here or there,
and are very narrow.
This means the wind blows from here to there,
or viceversa.
From here there are 80 km
of kaluts, and over there 150 km.
The biggest kalut
is 120 meters high,
And over there where the wind blows all the sand
are the tallest dunes in the world
reaching 400 meters.
 
In this moment the only sound there is is my voice
I swear if I shut up
there's pure silence, not a sound
not an insect, absolutely nothing.
only our steps,
if I had a slide
you know how I'd get down.
 
 
 
It was so cool.
We have to leave 'cause if it gets dark
there's no lights here,
no natural light,
let alone artificial.
if it gets dark here
you're in pitch black.
and there was an eclipse not long ago
so the moon
is very thin.
So we'll go before it sets completely
'cause we have another cool stop.
Do you like the places I take you?
leave a like and a comment.
tell me which places you liked,
which you've visited that left you amazed.
I'm here struck, honestly.
The same level of Wadi Rum desert.
or even Wuling mountains.
or Ha Long Bay.
We ended up in these beautiful gardens
it's a bit late,
but it was the plan
seeing them with the light.
 
 
 
 
And that's it for today's video.
we hope you enjoyed, and if you did leave a like.

that we can't say anything or it'd be
spoiler!
Bye!
We're in Ganj Ali Khan
caravanserai
