Karaj: Karaj is a city in the Central District of Karaj County, Alborz province, Iran, serving as capital of the province, the county, and the district. Earliest evidence of inhabitation in Karaj can be dated to the Bronze Age at Tepe Khurvin. The city was developed under the rule of the Safavid and Qajar Empire and is home to historical buildings and memorials from those eras. This city has a unique climate due to access to natural resources such as many trees, rivers, and green plains. After Tehran, Karaj is the largest immigrant-friendly city in Iran, so it has been nicknamed "Little Iran."

Karaj is the capital of Alborz province and the fourth-largest city in Iran, with a population of well over 1.4 million located about 35 kilometres west of Tehran at the foot of the Alborz mountains. Iran Standard Time (IRST, UTC+3:30) is one of the world's few half-hour-offset national time zones; Iran abolished daylight saving in 2022 and now keeps standard time year-round. Karaj has grown rapidly into a satellite of metropolitan Tehran, drawing residents and industry from the capital, and Alborz province was carved out of Tehran province with Karaj as its seat. The city has a slightly cooler, more Mediterranean climate than Tehran and serves as a manufacturing and agricultural-processing centre.
