The Orientation, Itinerary and walking tour -
Available from $10.00
Lying east of the "Kavir-e Loot" desert, Zahedan
used to be called "Dozdab", as it was the meeting
place of bandits. "Dozd" means robbers and bandits.
"Ab" means water or a place of water. Bandits used
to frequent the place for their drinking water.
Zahedan is the main economic center of the region
and home to many small- and medium-scale industries.
Its main products include cotton textiles, woven and
hand-knotted rugs, ceramics, processed foods,
livestock feed, processed hides, milled rice,
bricks, and reed mats and baskets. |

A colorful bazaar, "Rasouli Bazaar", patronized by
the local Baluchi tribes can also be found in the
city. About 100 km south of Zahedan is an
intermittently active volcano, "Taftan", which rises
abruptly 4,042 m from the surrounding plain.
Although the surrounding area has some ancient
sites, Zahedan has developed only in the 20th
century. Before being chosen as the provincial
administrative center in the 1930s, Zahedan was a
small village. Its population reached 17,500 by 1956
and increased more than fivefold to 93,000 by 1976.
After 1980 large numbers of refugees fleeing the
invasion of Afghanistan by the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics (USSR) helped to triple the
population of Zahedan to more than 281,000 by 1986,
and now It has a population of 590,125 (2001
estimate).

Like most Iranian cities, Zahedan has a FriDay
mosque, "Jame mosque", where many members of the
community gather to worship on FriDay. It also has a
Sunni Mosque, "Makki Mosque", which is the greatest
mosque of Sunnites in Iran with stuccos and
decorations in Indian architecture method, a Sikh
temple, and ruins of an old fortress.

Highways link Zahedan to Tehran and Mashhad
in the north, the port of Bandar Chabahar on the
Arabian Sea in the south, and the Pakistani city of
Quetta in the east. A rail line also runs from
Zahedan to Quetta, and a rail line from Zahedan to
Kerman in central Iran was being
constructed in the mid-1990s. Zahedan is also served
by an international airport. |
