Rig-e Jenn

The Rig-e Jenn ( ‘Dune of the Jinn’) is a vast area of sand dunes in the middle of Dasht-e Kavir, Iran's central desert in the border region of the Semnan and Isfahan provinces.

According to desert folklore, the sand dune desert is regarded as a cursed land, governed by malevolent spirits and demons. It is believed that those who venture into the dunes are destined never to return. Dasht-e Kavir desert encompasses salt marshes notorious for swallowing people, earning it the moniker of Iran's very own Bermuda Triangle.
