Zabol (Persian: )[a] is a city in the Central District of Zabol County, Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4] Zabol is near the border with Afghanistan. Referred to as Sistan until the late 1920s, the city was renamed Zabol by Reza Shah Pahlavi.[5]
At the 2006 census, its population was 130,642 in 27,867 households.[6] The 2011 census counted 137,722 people in 33,957 households.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 134,950 people in 35,401 households.[2]
Zabol is located near Lake Hamun, in the endorheic Sīstān Basin, and the region is irrigated by the Helmand River. Lake Hamun is a seasonal lake that is often dry. The people of Zabol are Sistani who speak a variant of the Persian language known as Sistani or Seistani which is very similar to Dari, also known as Afghan Persian.
The city is home to Zabol University, the largest university in the city, as well as the Zabol Medical Science University and the Sistan Museum of Anthropology. Zabol has a regional airport.
Zabol is connected by road to Milak and Zaranj (across the border in Afghanistan). The Delaram-Zaranj Highway provides road connectivity to the rest of Afghanistan. Zabol thus provides Afghanistan access to the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf via the Port of Chabahar.
