Chābahār (Persian: چابهار and Balochi: چھبار)(pronunciationⓘ)[a] is a city in the Central District of Chabahar County, Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[5] It is a free port (free-trade zone) situated on the coast of the Gulf of Oman, and is Iran's southernmost city. The sister port city of Gwadar in Balochistan, Pakistan, is located about 170 kilometres (110 mi) to the east of Chabahar.
The city is situated on the Makran Coast of the Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchestan, and is officially designated as a "Free Trade and Industrial Zone" by the Iranian government. Due to its free-trade zone status, the city has increased in significance in international trade. The overwhelming majority of the city's inhabitants are ethnic Baloch, who speak their native Balochi language in addition to Persian.
At the 2006 census, the city's population was 71,070 in 13,837 households.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 85,633 people in 19,313 households.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a further increase in population to 106,739 people in 25,896 households.[2]
