Where to Stay in Nasīm Shahr, Tehran Province

What is Nasīm Shahr known for?

Nasīm Shahr was the village of Akbarabad until 1995, and between the 2006 and 2016 censuses it grew by nearly half. It shares the role of county seat of Baharestan County with Golestan, its neighbour to the south.

What are the main landmarks in Nasīm Shahr?

Two sites are worth knowing. Deh Shad Castle, a fortress from the Qajar period on the national heritage list, stands about three kilometres to the north, just over the line in Shahriar County. Nasimshahr railway station, owned by the Iranian state railway, lies about three kilometres south-east of the centre.

What is the history of Nasīm Shahr?

Nasīm Shahr is young. It was the village of Akbarabad until 1995, when it was made a city, and it was renamed twice in quick succession, to Mohajershahr in 1996 and to Nasimshahr in 1999. At the 2006 census it still belonged to Robat Karim County.

Bostan District was then separated from that county to help form the new Baharestan County, in place by the 2011 census, and the 2016 count found the city nearly half as large again as ten years before. Nasīm Shahr serves, with Golestan, as one of the two capitals of Baharestan County.
