Qaţrūyeh

Qatruyeh stands in the arid country between Neyriz and Sirjan, near the boundary of Fars and Kerman. To the east lies the salt desert of Sirjan, known locally as Kafa-ye Qatru. This broad waste forms a natural divide between the two regions, its saline flats contrasting with the cultivated settlements at the margins. Mountain ridges break up the surrounding plateau and separate its enclosed basins.
