Tabas (Persian: طبس)[a] is a city in the Central District of Tabas County, South Khorasan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4]

At the 2006 census, its population was 30,681 in 7,962 households, when it was in Yazd province.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 35,150 people in 9,903 households.[6] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 39,676 people in 11,876 households,[2] by which time the county had been separated from the province and become a part of South Khorasan province.[7]

Tabas is located in central Iran, 950 kilometers southeast of Tehran, in South Khorasan Province.[citation needed] At first, it was part of the Khorasan province, but in 2001, it was joined to the Yazd Province.[8] However, in 2013, it was returned to Khorasan, and it became part of South Khorasan province.[7]

It is a desert city with many date and citrus trees. It has a 300-year-old public garden (Bagh-e-Golshan).[9] There is also a shrine in Tabas that is visited every year by thousands of pilgrims. Tabas has two universities with 2,500 to 3,500 students.[10] The city has hot summers, and people rarely see a winter snowfall.

The people of Tabas speak a Khorasani accent of Persian that sounds somewhat different from the standard Iranian version ("Tehrani accent").
