Introducing Bam

Show mapClose map

Having been all but flattened by a massive earthquake in 2003, Bam is not the tourist attraction it once was. A few years later much of the rebuilding is complete, but the city has undoubtedly changed. Mud-brick homes have been replaced by steel-framed two-storey buildings that are safe but boring. The main attraction, the Arg-e Bam, is obviously a less evocative place than it once was. For all this, however, Bam’s thousands of date palms remain and with them the desert oasis feel. If you have the time, Bam is still worth the trip.
