Sarab, Kurdistan

Sarab is a small village located in the Kurdistan Province of Iran. It is administratively part of a rural district within one of the province’s counties (the specific county and district vary across sources). The settlement is situated in a mountainous region that is predominantly inhabited by ethnic Kurds, who speak Kurdish dialects and practice cultural traditions typical of the broader Kurdish population in western Iran.

According to the national census conducted by the Statistical Center of Iran in 2006, Sarab was recorded as having a modest population, numbering in the low hundreds. The village’s economy is primarily based on subsistence agriculture and pastoralism, reflecting the rural character of many settlements in the region.

Geographically, Sarab lies within the Zagros mountain range, which influences its climate and topography. The area experiences cold winters and mild summers, with precipitation patterns that support limited cultivation.

Accurate information regarding the exact administrative classification (such as the specific county, bakhsh, or rural district) and up‑to‑date demographic figures is not confirmed, as newer census data have not been publicly released for this settlement.
