This large city in southeastern Iran with a walkable centre full of cafés and restaurants, Kerman sits at high elevation, giving it cooler summers than most cities in the region's semi-desert climate. The provincial capital holds a strong historical and cultural record and is counted among Iran's principal historic cities, with UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
