Recommendations:

Matinabad eco resort was founded in the intact desert in 2010, with the goal of people and nature reconciliation. All our attempts are directed to educating the local community and our dear guests how to behave properly in the nature.

We are notably responsible for the future of young generation to preserve the environment. To reach this main goal, we need your help.

The desert may be beautiful, but they can also be dangerous. Even the most experienced eco-tourists and adventurists could face some dangers; that’s why we ask all our dear guests to learn about the risks and prepare themselves fully for the trip.
