Saravan, Iran

Saravan (Balochi and ) is a city in the Central District of Saravan County, Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district. The city lies in a long valley in the south of Masheked and north of Makran, close to the international border with Pakistan.

The inhabitants of the city are Baloch and speak the Balochi language.[citation needed]

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 58,652 in 10,078 households. The following census in 2011 counted 59,795 people in 13,257 households. The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 60,014 people in 15,929 households.

In 2013, a major earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 occurred near the city.

Saravan is the location of many attacks, presumably by Baloch insurgents.

Saravan has a hot desert climate (Köppen: BWh), with very hot summers, mild winters, and ample sunshine throughout the year.
