Rahīmābād

Rahimabad lies near Parandak on the dry plain northeast of Saveh. The Shur River passes south of the settlement, crossing a landscape of open ground and cultivated villages between the western highlands and the central Iranian basin. The country forms part of the route from Saveh towards Ray, a corridor travelled by merchants and officials between the cities of the plateau. The river's name, meaning salty, reflects the character of waters that drain towards the interior salt basins.
