Sarakhs (Persian: سرخس)[a] is a city in the Central District of Sarakhs County, Razavi Khorasan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4][5] Sarakhs was once a stopping point along the Silk Road, and in its 11th century heyday had many libraries.[5] Much of the original city site is now just across the border at Serakhs in Turkmenistan.
At the 2006 census, its population was 33,571 in 8,066 households.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 37,162 people in 9,984 households.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 42,179 people in 11,812 households.[2]
