Azāb

Azab lies in the dry uplands east of Shindand, where the seasonal Shelah-ye Azab cuts through the barren country south of Herat. Historical accounts list Azab together with Shafilan and Daman-e Kuh among the districts dependent on Herat. The valleys of this region lead west toward the Adraskan basin, whose river continues toward the inland lakes of Sistan.
