Karaj (Persian: کرج; pronounced [kæˈɾædʒ] )[a] is a city in the Central District of Karaj County, Alborz province, Iran, serving as capital of the province, the county, and the district.[5]
Although the county hosts a population around 1.97 million, as recorded in the 2016 census,[3] most of the 1,419 km2 (548 sq mi) county is rugged mountain. The urban area is the fourth-largest in Iran, after Tehran, Mashhad, and Isfahan.[6] Eshtehard County[7] and Fardis County[8] were split off from Karaj County since the previous census.
