About Dekhistan (Misrian)

Once a thriving medieval city on the caravan routes, Dekhistan (Misrian) now stands abandoned in the Balkan desert — a haunting field of ruins where twin minarets and a great mosque portal still reach for the sky.

Wind and sand have claimed the rest, leaving a quiet, atmospheric site that few travellers ever reach, on the road toward the Caspian.
