Bam’s adobe citadel complex (Arg-e Bam) offers vast, texture-rich mudbrick architecture and powerful desert light. Photograph crumbling towers, courtyards, and layered walls with Kerman’s arid horizon. Best light is early morning or late afternoon (soft shadows); midday heat can fade details. Accessible by car, with limited shaded walking—carry water and respect conservations; entry is paid at the site.
