About this Arāk map poster
Arāk is a relatively young city by Iranian standards. It was founded in the early nineteenth century under the Qajars as Soltanabad, a fortified town with a planned layout, and its historic core still has a more regular pattern than many older Persian cities. At its centre stands a long covered bazaar, a straight spine that remains the heart of the old town.
Modern Arāk has grown well beyond those walls. Wide avenues radiate out towards the industrial areas that made the city one of Iran's key manufacturing centres, with large plants on the outskirts. The city sits on a high plain surrounded by mountains, and to the northeast lies the Meyghan wetland and salt lake, a flat, pale shape that appears clearly beside the built-up area.
The region is also known for its carpets. Rugs woven in villages around Arāk, often sold under the Sarouk name, became internationally known in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. An Arāk map poster places the planned core, the industrial outskirts and the surrounding plain on one sheet, showing a city that was designed at the outset and then expanded rapidly.

The bazaar spine
A long covered bazaar runs through the old town as a single strong line, with lanes and courtyards branching off along its length.
Meyghan to the northeast
Beyond the city's edge, the Meyghan wetland and salt flat forms a large, smooth shape, the calmest area on the map.

Why Arāk
A map that means something
For people from Markazi, Arāk is the bazaar, the mountain air and the long avenues out to the factories. A map of the city holds all of that in a simple, quiet form that suits a home or an office.
You can personalise the title, the subtitle and the coordinates line. Then choose one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Paper and Sand suit a carpet-weaving region well.
