The bridge over the river of Khiyav Chai in Meshginshhar is 345 meters long, suspended 80 meters above the ground. The region, known for its prime natural honey, is undergoing a flurry of construction and sprucing up its face to attract tourists. It is tucked away at the foot of the iconic Sabalan mountain which oozes a rich stream of hot mineral waters, attracting millions of tourists every year.

Iran is aiming to raise its tourism revenues put around $6 billion a year, which account for less than 0,5% of the world’s total income from the sector. “Iran’s 20-year vision plan targets attracting 20 million tourists by 2025 which will earn the country $30 billion,” director of Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization Masoud Soltanifar has said.
