Zahedan Practical information

Health & safety

Dangers & annoyances

Zahedan can be dangerous and when we visited it was definitely annoying because almost everywhere we went required a police escort. At any time it can be a little unsafe at night, and away from the main squares the streets are pretty lonely after dark. Car theft is a problem so if you have a vehicle find a secure place to leave it overnight. Do not venture west of Zahedan in the jagged-looking area known as the Black Mountains, unaccompanied or on foot – they’re not known as the Black Mountains for their colour alone.
