Zardab

Zardab lies beside the Kura on the broad lowlands of Arran. Its name, from Persian, means “yellow water,” and has been associated with the silt left by the river's floods. Its waters once spread across parts of the plain, leaving deposits as they receded. The Kura flows east from the Caucasus towards the Caspian, and its banks, wetlands and shifting channels form the setting of this lowland settlement.
