established the town of Kashan, which is situated between Tehran and
Isfahan. The town of Kashan is the third in the long line of towns, which follow
each other at distances of from 75 to 150 miles along the western fringe of the
Great Desert on the highway to India
The Kashan district is possibly one of the best producers of Persian Carpets.
