Start with same-name pairs such as Tehran-Tehran, Isfahan-Isfahan, Kerman-Kerman, Yazd-Yazd, Bushehr-Bushehr, Qom-Qom, Qazvin-Qazvin, Zanjan-Zanjan, then learn the non-matching pairs that carry more of the study load: Alborz-Karaj, Razavi Khorasan-Mashhad, Fars-Shiraz, East Azerbaijan-Tabriz, West Azerbaijan-Urmia, Gilan-Rasht, Mazandaran-Sari, Golestan-Gorgan.

Frequently asked questions

What is the capital of Iran?

Tehran is the national capital of Iran and the capital of Tehran Province. It is the first same-name pair in the province capitals quiz.

Which Iran capital pairs are hardest?

The non-matching pairs usually need the most review: Alborz-Karaj, Razavi Khorasan-Mashhad, Fars-Shiraz, East Azerbaijan-Tabriz, West Azerbaijan-Urmia, Gilan-Rasht, Mazandaran-Sari, Golestan-Gorgan, Khuzestan-Ahvaz, Hormozgan-Bandar Abbas, Sistan and Baluchestan-Zahedan, Kurdistan-Sanandaj. Practice them after the map so each city has a coast, mountain, plateau, or border clue.

Which Iran capitals are on the Caspian side?

The Caspian province-capital pairs are Gilan-Rasht, Mazandaran-Sari, Golestan-Gorgan. They are useful because the three provinces form a clean strip along the northern edge of the map.

Should I learn the Iran map before capitals?

Yes. Capitals such as Karaj, Shiraz, Ahvaz, Bandar Abbas, and Zahedan are easier when their provinces already have map positions.
