Sirjan سیرجان

Sirjan is a town and district in western Kerman province, south-east Iran, and the base of several nomadic Afshar groups, including the Jahanshahi, Amu'i and Buchaqchi, all recorded there as nomads in 1957. Remnants of a fourth Afshar group, the Mir Habibi, may survive around nearby Bardsir.
