This
large (pop. 308,000) oil-refinery boomtown, located at the junction of
the Karun and Arvandrud Rivers, was largely destroyed during the
Iran-Iraq War. Before the war, Abadan had a fairly good museum now, there
is not a lot thinks to see travellers should check conditions before
going to the area. |
One
of the traditional centers in the Middle East for the refining of
petroleum and the shipment of petroleum products was Abadan. The city of
Abadan is located approximately 33 miles (53 kilometers) from the Persian
Gulf on an island in the Shatt al 'Arab, a stream formed by the junction
of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
