Chabahar, Port city in Sistan and Baluchestan Province, Iran.

Located near the Gulf of Oman, Chabahar extends across coastal terrain with deep water harbors accommodating substantial shipping vessels at its two main ports.

The Portuguese secured control of Chabahar and Tis during the 16th century, maintaining their presence in this strategic location until 1621.

The population consists primarily of Baloch people who speak Balochi and Persian languages, with traditional handicrafts including needlework and mat weaving.

The Chabahar Free Trade-Industrial Zone operates with specific regulations, offering tax exemptions and simplified customs procedures for international commerce.

The city name derives from Balochi words meaning four springs, reflecting the mild temperature patterns throughout all seasons of the year.
