The city of Yadzd is located in the middle of the Iranian plateau, 270 km southeast of Isfahan, close to the Spice Route and the Silk Road. It is a vivid demonstration of how people in the desert survive with limited resources. Urban Water Supply By developing a qanat system for extracting groundwater, Yadzd's earthen architecture escaped modernization, which destroyed many traditional earthen towns, and preserved its traditional neighborhoods, qanats, traditional houses, bazaars, Turkish baths, mosques, synagogues, Zoroastrian temples and the historical gardens of Dawlat Abad.
