"The tourists on this train will visit the historic villages of Abyaneh in Natanz, Harpark Fire Temple, Hajatgah Mosque, Abu-Zeidabad Caravanserai, and other sites," Hossein Yazdanmehr, the head of the Natanz office of Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization, was quoted as saying by ISNA.
