kms Southeast of Ahwaz.Because of its characteristic
position and possession of a natural channel "The
Khor Musa" with a length of about 78 km, it is

addition to paved roads and air links, is also connected to
various points of the country through railway system.

port. Vessels should anchor at the outer buoy latitude 29
