Abadan, Port city in Khuzestan, Iran
Located on Abadan Island, the city spans 68 kilometers in length between the Arvand waterway and Bahmanshir outlet of the Karun River.
The city developed into a significant port during Abbasid rule, later establishing its first oil refinery in 1912 through the Anglo-Persian Oil Company.
The Petroleum University of Technology prepares professionals for Iran's oil industry through specialized engineering and technical programs.
Travelers reach the city through Abadan Airport, which connects to Tehran and Isfahan through regular domestic flights.
