Kurdistan Province
Kurdistan Province, Province in northwestern Iran
Kurdistan Province is located in northwestern Iran, stretching across mountainous terrain between Iraq and other Iranian provinces. The province divides into ten administrative counties with Sanandaj as its capital.
The Sirwan Valley contains evidence of human settlement stretching back across many centuries, revealing the region's deep history of habitation. These early traces document how people have continuously lived in this area over time.
The people of the province express Kurdish traditions through their own clothing styles, regional dances, and music that stand apart from other Iranian regions. These cultural practices shape daily life and remain visible at local gatherings and celebrations.
The region is mountainous and requires preparation for varying elevations and changing weather conditions when exploring. Visitors should consider local road conditions when traveling between the different administrative areas.
The region produces traditional agricultural crops like wheat and barley that have been grown for generations. The province has also developed modern industries producing chemicals, textiles, and metal goods.
