The beautiful city of Chabahar, originally called" Char-bahar", meaning four springs, is part of the Sistan & Balouchestan province in the south east of the Islamic Republic of Iran, by the azure waters of the Oman sea. Chabahar stretches from the north to the Nikshahr city, from the west to Kerman and Hormozgan, from the south to the Sea of Oman, and from the east to Pakistan. The port of Chabahar is the largest oceanic port of Iran, which leads out to the Persian Gulf.
Modern transport facilities (by air, sea and land) have allowed the Chabahar Free Zone to be linked from the north to the Middle Eastern countries and Afghanistan, from the east to Pakistan, from the south to the waters of the Indian Ocean and the Suez Canal, and from the west, via the Gulf of Aden, to the Mediterranean Sea.
The Population of Chabahar is almost 65,000, and there is a 25-year development macro plan ending up with 300.000 people in this area. Persian (Farsi) is the official language, although the native people of Chabahar speak mainly "Balochi" derived from Hindi languages.
