Question

How know Ahwaz in Iran

Answer 1

Capital of wealthy Khuzestan province in the southwest Iran, and bordering on cities such as Shushtar and Dezful to the north, Ramhormoz to the east, Shadegan, Bandar-e Mahshahr, Abadan, and Khorramshahr to the south, Ahwaz is situated on both banks of Karun River. Being an oil center, a transportation hub, and an industrial city with flourishing metallurgical, petrochemical, textile, sugar cane, power generating, and food-processing industries, it occupies an area of more than 200 square kilometers. It is terribly hot and humid in spring and summer. Its population amounts to more than 1,000,000, mainly Shi’ite Muslims. Its elevation from the sea levels is only 18 meters. The best season for traveling to Ahwas and the whole Khuzestan province is from January to late April.

As an ancient city, its name appears in many inscriptions of ancient Iran. Its original name, according to archaeological evidence is said to have been Oxin. Achaemenians called it Avaz or Avaja. During the Sassanian period (3rd century AD), Ahwaz was rebuilt by Ardashir I, who named it Hormuzd Ardashir. In the 4th century AD, Ahwas became a seat of bishorpic, and a large church was built there. However, it was renamed to Souq al-Ahwaz following the Arab Conquest. It was an important trading center with the Arab world in the 12th and 13th centuries but later declined. During the Qajar period a harbor was built by the order of Nasser od-Din Shah (during whose reign the town was called Nasseri) not far from the present location of Ahwaz on the Karun river for trading purposes, and the river was opened to foreign trade in 1888. Finally it was called Ahwaz and designated as the capital of Khuzestan province during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1924.
