Salar Salt Mine in Western Garmsar Mountains

Salar salt mine is located in Garmsar, a city in Semnan province. It sits in a unique geographical location, between Firouzkooh and Damavand in the north, Semnan in the east, Qom and the Salt Desert in the south, and Varamin in the west.

Located on the Silk Road, Semnan province has long been known as one of the main sources of Iran’s salt thanks to its enormous salt mines.
