East Azarbaijan Province
East Azarbaijan Province, Provincial region in northwestern Iran.
East Azarbaijan Province lies in northwestern Iran and includes multiple counties with varying landscapes. The territory features mountains, plateaus, and river valleys, with Tabriz serving as the main urban center.
The region flourished during the Ilkhanate period when Tabriz became a major center of power under Ghazan Khan in the late 13th century. This era brought economic growth and architectural developments that shaped the territory.
The bazaars here, especially in Tabriz, display traditional craftsmanship with weavers, metalworkers, and artisans creating goods by hand. You can watch these skilled workers practice techniques that have been passed down through generations.
Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable weather for traveling through the region, with mild temperatures and clear roads. Most places are accessible by public transportation or taxis, especially from Tabriz as a central hub.
Natural hot springs throughout the region feed pools filled with mineral-rich water that people have used since ancient times. Locals and visitors appreciate these warm places, especially during the colder months.
