Jāleq

Jaleq is an oasis in the dry eastern mountains of Baluchistan, with palm groves fed by underground water channels. Its qanats include Khoshab, Gugan Keshan and Dahmir. Nearby at Sinokan stands a three-storey mud-brick fort, its roofs made with palm trunks and branches. Jaleq’s old houses and forts recall a time when the oasis served as a local seat of authority.
