Rāmhormoz

Ramhormoz lies on a fertile plain at the eastern edge of Khuzestan, where the Zagros foothills meet the lowlands. Medieval geographers praised its date palms and orchards of grapes, almonds, peaches and other fruit. In the tenth century the town was known for raising silkworms and making silk cloth for export. Its position on routes between Khuzestan and Fars made it a meeting place of the mountain and plain economies.
