Yasuj
A mountain city in Iran's Zagros range, Yasuj serves as the provincial capital of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad in southwestern Iran, a short drive from Shiraz. The city sits in highland terrain with water nearby, and has drawn enough independent traveller interest to earn a Wikivoyage entry. An industrial base, including sugar processing, shapes its economy alongside its role as a regional administrative centre.
