This evocative image captures the breathtaking view of Mohammerah, now known as Khorramshahr, from the banks of the mighty Karun River in the late 1910s. Located in the southwestern province of Khuzestan in Iran, this historic port city has been a significant trading hub since ancient times, with its strategic position at the confluence of the Shatt al-Arab and Karun rivers. The photograph showcases the unique architectural landscape of Mohammerah, with its traditional mud-brick houses nestled amidst the arid terrain. The Karun River, the longest river in Iran, flows majestically in the foreground, reflecting the vibrant colors of the city's buildings and the clear blue sky above. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this fascinating region. Khuzestan Province, where Mohammerah is situated, is known for its lush gardens, fertile lands, and abundant natural resources. The province has been a melting pot of various civilizations throughout history, including the Elamites, Persians, Greeks, and Arabs. The region's strategic location has made it a coveted prize for many empires, including the Achaemenids, Parthians, Sassanids, and the Ottomans. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and history of Mohammerah and Khuzestan Province. It invites us to explore the wonders of Iran's past and appreciate the natural and cultural treasures that continue to captivate visitors from around the world.
