Ahvaz (Persian: اهواز; [ʔæhˈvɒːz] ⓘ)[a] is a city in the Central District of Ahvaz County, Khuzestan province, Iran, serving as capital of the province, the county, and the district.[3] It is home to Persians, Arabs, Lurs[4]and other groups such as Turks and Kurds.[5][6][7] Languages spoken in the area include Persian, Arabic, Luri and dialects such as Bakhtiari, Dezfuli and Shushtari.[8]
Ahvaz is home to over 1.3 million people within its metropolitan area. Census results suggest a steady increase in population.[9]
As the most watery river in Iran,[10] the Karun flows through the center of the city, which is one of the two navigable rivers in Iran, alongside the Arvand Rud.[11]
Ahvaz has earned the reputation of being the City of Bridges due to its numerous big bridges built on the Karun to facilitate better communication between the east and west parts of the city,[12] although since the beginning of the 20th century, this city has always been known as the Oil Capital of Iran, along with other cities of Khuzestan province.[13]
This city has a long history, dating back to the Achaemenid period. In ancient times, the city was one of the main centers of the Academy of Gondishapur.
