Climate: The county of Chabahar has hot, humid weather in the summer and warm weather in the winter, giving it a hot desert climate. The western winds in the winter bring about scattered rainfalls in this region. The summer monsoon winds from the Indian subcontinent make Chabahar the coolest southern port in the summer and the warmest port of Iran in the winter. It has an average maximum temperature of 34 °C and an average minimum temperature of 21.5 °C. It has the same latitude as Miami in Florida, USA, and temperatures are very similar to those in Miami. 14 July 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine Documentary Works www.Mahan.aero Martian Mounts Mars or Martian Mounts are a type of badlands stretched out parallel to the sea, starting from Kachoo village up to the proximity of Gwater. Martian Mounts are extremely beautiful and considered to be symbols of the unique geo-morphological phenomena of Chabahar. Beaches Chabahar Beaches own one of the most scenic coastal areas in Iran. Chabahar Beaches are suitable for many water sports and activities including swimming, diving, snorkeling, canoeing, water skiing, surfing among others. The rocky coast of Chabahar Coasts along the Oman Sea, particularly in Chabahar, are rocky. Iran’s most beautiful rocky coasts are in Sistan and Baluchestan Province. Whales can often be seen frolicking off these coasts. July 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine 15 Touring Iran www.Mahan.aero Seyyed Gholam Rasoul’s Tomb According to Muslim accounts, Seyyed Gholam Rasoul, originally known as Seyyedena Mohammad, was an Indian Muslim. On a visit to Chabahar, he decided to marry a local girl, but on his wedding night he fell ill. In his will, he asked others to refrain from mourning for him and instead celebrate for ten nights to secure blessings for his soul. Every year on the 15th of the 11th month of the lunar calendar, a 10-day celebration is held in his memory at his tomb, 5 km to the northwest of Chabahar. During the ceremony, elderly women enter the tomb to say prayers for others and ask God to heal the sick while men stay outside and play music. The tomb has white walls with Indian-style architecture. The exterior of the structure is graced with paintings and religious phrases. This structure was built in the Seljuq era, and its murals were painted later during the Safavid era. The tomb dates back to the 11th century AD. Lipar Lagoon The pink wetland of Lipar is located just 200 meters from the northern edge of the Oman Sea and south of a namesake village in Chabahar, in Sistan and Baluchestan Province. The wetland is one of the alluring natural attractions of the area. What stands out about the wetland, which sits on the edge of Lipar’s seasonal lagoon 20 kilometers to the east of Chabahar, is its water which looks pink. This body of water which is 10 hectares in area, accounts for 90 percent of herbal planktons in the region and is home to a large number of, flora and fauna species. 16 June 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine Touring Iran www.Mahan.aero Banmasity Caves In the Shahbazband Mountains, about 25 m above ground level, there are two man-made caves and one natural one. The trio is called Banmasity Caves by locals. In the local language, ban means a pious person and masity is a place of worship. Inside the small natural cave, there is a cubic grave whose dome is 40 cm in height. On three sides of the dome, there are inscriptions and signs in red and purple which are similar to Indian writing. Seven steps away, there is a second cave made of stucco and stone. The third cave is 50 m away. These caves seem to have served as either a shelter or a place of worship. At the entrance to all three caves, there is a platform that seems to have been used for religious rituals. Mud Volcano In the northwest of Chabahar, 20 km away from Kahir Village, in a vast plain there is a mud volcano. Mud volcanoes are remarkable geo-tourist attractions. There are only a handful of mud volcanoes – formations created by geo-exuded slurries and gases – across the world. Sounds similar to gunshots can be frequently heard when such volcanoes are active. The mud volcano in Chabahar is 20 m in height and its crater is 12 m in diameter. Over the several years of activity, the flow of mud has formed a hill around the volcano where no plant can grow. June 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine 17 Touring Iran www.Mahan.aero Tis Mosque Tis Mosque is located in a beautiful namesake village, 9 km from Chabahar. The mosque was first built 1,000 years ago. Thanks to the single-minaret mosque’s proximity to Pakistan and India, its architecture and interior design are similar to Pakistani and Indian places of Muslim worship. Bahu Kalat Plain Bahu Kalat Plain, home to thousands hectares of banana and watermelon farms, is very attractive for domestic and foreign tourists. Portuguese Castle, Tis Tourism Village and Lipar Wetland as well as several shopping centers, established in the port, create an unforgettable memory for visitors to the port city. Mangrove forest This forest is located alongside the Gwater Gulf which have made suitable residence for valuable species of seabirds such as flamingo, eagle, heron, etc.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

Email: [email protected] Received 27 March 2009; accepted 7 October 2009 Abstract: Based on original literature reports covering the period 1860 –1969, details of 362 records of 102 bird species considered rare in Iran are presented. This fills a gap in knowledge of Iran’s birds from a period between research by Gmelin and Hablizl in the 1770s (reviewed by Mlikovsky 2008) and an overview of the observations of rare birds in Iran in the 1960s and 1970s (presented by Scott 2008). Attention is drawn to two new species for Iran (Eastern Marsh Harrier Circus spilonotus and Blue Whistling Thrush Myophonus caeruleus ). Published details validate the records of Light-bellied Brent Goose Branta hrota , Upland Buzzard Buteo hemilasius , Great Knot Calidris tenuirostris , and Oriental Cuckoo Cuculus saturatus , formerly considered as of dubious occurrence in Iran. Information on six species (Yellow-breasted Tit Cyanistes cyanus flavipectus , Falcated Duck Anas falcata , Indian Nightjar Caprimulgus asiaticus , Güldenstädt’s Redstart Phoenicurus erythrogaster , Cirl Bunting Emberiza cirlus and Eurasian Nutcracker Nucifraga caryocatactes) was considered insufficient or unreliable and the occurrence of these species in Iran has been rejected. We recommend that these species be omitted from the last revised checklist of the birds of Iran (Scott & Adhami 2006).

Especially, it plays an active and important role in environment. These strategies have not been able to distribute economic, social, and cultural development of developing the profits made of development too, thus resulting in many countries. Qal’e Nou is a village with a unique environment problems for the rural areas and this is all happening today that offering many natural, historical, and cultural attractions. The the rural tourism is one of the well-known types of tourism issue concerning this study was that whether Qal’e Nou has the industry. Rural development is a process through which necessary potentials for development in terms of rural tourism enables villagers to control their environment having an origin or not? Thus, the research aims at clarifying tourism attractions that provide for many more uses which guarantee such control of Qal’e Nou and studying the role of tourism in development (Shahidi et al., 2009: 102).

    Determining the Climate Calendar of Tourism in Sistan-Baluchestan Province, Iran

    ROMANIAN REVIEW OF REGIONAL STUDIES, Volume X, Number 2, 2014 DETERMINING THE CLIMATE CALENDAR OF TOURISM IN SISTAN-BALUCHESTAN PROVINCE, IRAN FAHIMEH SHAHRAKI1, MORTEZA ESMAELNEJAD2, MARYAM KARIMIYAN BOSTANI3 ABSTRACT - Sistan and Baluchestan Province spans five degrees latitude, with variations in natural phenomena, with cultural and historical resources and beautiful beaches in the south that have a great potential in attracting tourists. To investigate the relationship between climate and tourism, the climate index has been developed so that data are presented showing the individuals’ reactions to climate. The current study chose the tourist major cities of Iran and meteorological data was used to calculate the 20- year period up to 2012. In order to calculate the three climate indices (Predict Mean Vote - PMV, the Physiological Equivalent Temperature - PET and the Standard Effective Temperature - SET), RayMan software was used. These indices were then discussed and the spatial distribution of climatic comfort was represented in GIS environment. The most important national, religious, historical, and natural places in the province were presented and the climate calendar of tourism was identified. The results showed that tourism is concentrated in two periods, hot and cold. The cold period in southern cities such as Chabahar, Konarak and Sarbaz makes them tourist destinations, while the cities of Zahedan, Khash, Zabol, located at higher latitudes, are chosen tourist destination in spring and autumn. Summer has the highest thermal stress in the province. Keywords: climate calendar of tourism, Sistan, Baluchestan, bioclimatic indicators INTRODUCTION Weather and climate are known as a determining factor of tourism. In fact, climates have most dominant factors affecting international tourism flows (Burton R., 1995; Boniface B.

We analysed 12 months 5 of continuous data from January 2009 through January 2010 recorded at broadband seismic stations. We obtained group velocity of the fundamental mode Rayleigh-wave dispersion curves from empirical Green’s functions between 10 and 50 s periods by multiple-filter analysis and inverted for Rayleigh wave group velocity maps. The final results demonstrate significant agreement with known geological and tec- 10 tonic features. Our tomography maps display low-velocity anomaly with south-western north-eastern trend, comparable with volcanic arc settings of the Makran region, which may be attributable to the geometry of Arabian Plate subducting overriding lithosphere of the Lut block.

Province located in the south east of Iran. First, we analyzed daily maximum temperature (DMT) recorded at 12 stations during 1961–2015, in southern of Iran. Then geographical patterns of heat waves (HWs), including those persisting for 2–5 days and longer over this province were studied. To indicate heat waves we used the value of the 90th percentile of the annual maximum temperature distribution at a station an then heat wave (HWs) is defined as the maximum number of consecutive days where the daily maximum temperature the long-term daily 90th percentile. Our analysis showed that Two poles of high frequencies (over 2 days per year) of the HWs during April–October were found in the regions of Jazmourian plain and the northern areas of SB. HWs increased significantly during the studied period in most regions of the province, especially over the northwestern areas and the west Sistan and Baluchestan. Increasing trend of HWs occurred after the 2005s in all regions, especially in northern SB and the southeastern coastal. Key-words: Iran, Sistan and Baluchestan, Heat waves, Trend. 1. INTRODUCTION The rapid buildup of greenhouse gases is expected to increase both mean temperature and temperature variability around the world (Schar et al., 2004).

    Walk to Jerusalem Spring Week 4 We had another great week this week. We had 43 participants and walked 1040 miles! At the end of week three, we had ended in The Map below shows our progress through the end of week four (purple line). from this map, we have completed about two- thirds of our pilgramige to Jerusalem so far. But we will use all of the miles you walk for sightseeing in Jerusalem when we arrive so keep thse miles coming in for the rest of our journey! As were enter Pakistan, it is important to know something about the history of the country, the land it occupies and the people who inhabit it. Pakistan, officially the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, is the world's fifth- most populous country with a population exceeding 212.2 million. It has the world's second-largest Muslim population. It is the 33rd-largest country by area, spanning 340,509 square miles. Pakistan has a 650-mile- long coastline along the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman in the south and is bordered by India to the east, Afghanistan to the west, Iran to the southwest, and China to the northeast. It is separated narrowly from Tajikistan by Afghanistan's Wakhan Corridor in the northwest, and also shares a maritime border with Oman. The territory that now constitutes Pakistan was the site of several ancient cultures and intertwined with the history of the broader Indian subcontinent. The ancient history involves the Neolithic site of Mehrgarh and the Bronze Age Indus Valley Civilization, and was later home to kingdoms ruled by people of different faiths and cultures, including Hindus, Indo-Greeks, Muslims, Turco-Mongols, Afghans and Sikhs.
