Babolsar
Babolsar is one of the most beautiful coastal towns in Iran. It is approximately 500 meters above sea level. The majority of the people are Sunni Muslims, but there is also a sizable Christian minority. Ashrafiyeh, Hittin, Hejaz, Downtown, Hurriya, and al-Qusur are the six main districts in Babolsar. This town is home to the ancient city of Ebla, which was once the capital of a powerful kingdom. During the Bronze and Iron Ages, the ancient kingdoms of Nuhae and Luhuti flourished in the province.
The Babolsar region is historically significant as a major agricultural center in Iran, with many "dead cities" and man-made hills. The majority of its beaches are environmentally protected areas and are considered local heritage. The beaches on the peninsula's west coast have calm, clear waters, whereas the beaches on the peninsula's east coast, which face the open sea, are wilder and more popular with surfers and water sports enthusiasts. Babolsar's main street, Ashrafiyeh, comes alive at night with an active nightlife and a diverse selection of shops and restaurants.
