Nurabad

Nurabad (نورآباد) is a city in western Fārs Province, about 150 km west of Shiraz. It is the capital of Mamasani County and lies in the Zagros mountains. The area is known for its scenic river valleys and the Mamasani tribal culture.

The climate is mountainous, with mild summers and cool winters.

The town serves as a quiet base for exploring the surrounding region, with its own charms including traditional architecture, local bazaars, and the warm hospitality of its residents. Visitors who take the time to explore beyond the main thoroughfares will discover a side of Iran that few international travellers see — authentic, unhurried, and deeply rooted in centuries of tradition.
