Also, a treasured village for history buffs and researchers, Qale-Now is neighboring Dahana-ye Gholaman — literary translated into “Gateway of Slaves” — which was an urban settlement during the Achaemenid era (c. 550-330 BC).

The collective province -- Sistan in the north and Baluchestan in the south -- accounts for one of the driest regions of Iran with a slight increase in rainfall from east to west and an obvious rise in humidity in the coastal regions.

Sistan-Baluchestan is home to several distinctive archaeological sites and natural attractions, including two UNESCO World Heritage sites, namely Shahr-e-Soukhteh (Burnt City) and the Lut Desert.
