Rāvar

Ravar stands on the edge of the Lut Desert north of Kerman, where routes lead towards the oases of Khorasan. Its climate is marked by hot summers, and its cultivated land lies amid dry hills and plains. During the Qajar period a community of carpet weavers worked here alongside the better-known textile makers of Kerman. The road north led caravans and pilgrims through the difficult desert country towards Mashhad.
