With an ancient civilization known as the “Jiroft civilization,” the city occupies a prominent place in the history of Iran and even the wider world. The discovery of valuable archaeological artefacts, stone vessels, and historical sites has turned Jiroft into one of the country’s most important centers of archaeological research. The people of Jiroft are Persian-speaking, and agriculture—especially the cultivation of citrus fruits, dates, and other tropical products—plays a central role in the region’s economy and culture.
Among the tourist attractions of Jiroft are the following:
- Jiroft Archaeological Museum
- The Jebal Barez mountain range
- The Dimand and Goykan hot springs
- The historic city of Daqyanus
- Jiroft Dam Lake
- Absar Waterfall
Combining a history spanning several millennia with lush natural landscapes, exceptional archaeological remains, and a rich indigenous culture, Jiroft is a valuable destination for those interested in historical tourism, nature tourism, and the study of the ancient civilizations of Iran.
