Farah (Pashto/Dari: (فرا) is one of the 34 provinces of Afghanistan, located in the western part of the country next to Iran. It is a spacious and sparsely populated province, divided into eleven districts and contains hundreds of villages. The city of Farah serves as the capital of the province. Farah is linked with Iran via the Iranian border town of Mahirud.
Geographically the province is approximately 48,000 square kilometres (19,000 sq mi), making it (comparatively) more than twice the size of Maryland, or half the size of South Korea. The province is bounded in the north by Herat, in the northeast by Ghor, in the southeast by Helmand, in the south by Nimroz, and in the west by Iran. It is the fourth largest province in Afghanistan by area size, but the second least densely populated province.
