Qaleh Lut

Qaleh Lut, also romanized as Qal'eh Lut, Qaleh-ye Lut, or Ghaleh Lut, refers to a village or small settlement located in the Sistan region of southeastern Iran, specifically within the Lut Desert (Dasht-e Lut). These settlements are typically sparse and rely on limited water resources available in this extremely arid environment. The name "Qaleh" generally translates to "fortress" or "castle," suggesting a historical presence of defensive structures in these locations, possibly to protect inhabitants and resources. The presence of "Lut" in the name directly connects the settlement to the surrounding desert landscape. The limited population and harsh conditions make life in Qaleh Lut villages challenging. Information about specific Qaleh Lut villages may be scarce in readily available resources.
