Khorramshahr is an important port city in Khuzestan Province in southwestern Iran, located at the confluence of the Karun and Shatt al-Arab rivers, near the Persian Gulf. The city has historically been a major trade and shipping hub in Iran and is known for its strategic location.
Khorramshahr was Iran's largest port in the 20th century, but suffered severe damage during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) and was gradually rebuilt after the war. The city is situated in a plain area with a hot and dry climate, and its economy is based on oil, shipping and agriculture, with dates being abundant in the surrounding area.
Today, Khorramshahr has a population of around 200,000, retaining Arab cultural influences and is ethnically diverse. The city is boosting the regional economy through the modernization of its port facilities, becoming a key node for trade in southern Iran.
