Fahraj

Fahraj lies on the southern margin of the Lut Desert, east of Bam and Narmashir. An ancient route linking Fars with lands farther east passed through this arid country. The surrounding landscape preserves traces of settlements from the Sasanian and early Islamic periods; the extensive site of Chah-e Rigan belongs to the wider cultural landscape of Bam. Desert sands and the margins of cultivated oases meet in this part of southeastern Iran.
