Mosharraḩāt

Mosharrahat lies east of the Karun River in the low plain of Khuzestan. The broad, hot country around Ahvaz is crossed by waterways descending from the Zagros toward the Persian Gulf. Settlements and cultivated land depend on these rivers and their channels, while dry ground stretches between them. The Karun itself passes through a line of rapids at Ahvaz before continuing south across the plain.
