FAKHRABAD— Lat. 31° 21' N, ; Long. 54° 3' E. ; Elev.
A village in the district of Yazd, 26| miles by road, south of Yazd town.
It is situated in a valley between cliffs, 600 yards apart, just below the
junction of the Bavanat and Tizarjan roads. The village contains 100
houses surrounded by cultivation, trees and gardens. Supplies are avail
able here and plentiful water is to be obtained from a stream.— (Vaughan,
1890.)
FALLAHlEH TOWN.— Lat. 30° 40' N,; Long. 48° 41' E. ; Elev.
The chief town of the district of the same name in Southern ’Arabistan,
and the capital of the Ka’b tribe. It is almost buried from view in date-
groves, and is situated on both banks of the Fallahleh-Marid canal about
3 miles below Khazineh, the place where the Jarrahi river ends and the
canal begins. The part of the town on the left bank is surrounded by
a dilapidated stone wall, which encloses as well as houses a large amount of
marsh. Therefore it is not surprising that this is considered the most
unhealthy town of ’Arabistan. About 250 mud houses and 130 shops
compose the town. The people are mostly Ka’b of the Khanafireh division
and number about 1,500 souls. Movement is chiefly by water and the
town possesses many hallams. Mahailahs also come up from Muhammareh
by the canal, and there is good water-way conducting to Buzieh. The town
lands produce abundant dates and rice, but trade is slack and the bazar is
generally closed at noon for want of business. Lately the power of the
Shaikh of Muhammareh has become absolute in Fallahieh .—( Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
Gazetteer, 1908.)
FALLAHlEH DISTRICT—
The most central of the districts of Southern ’Arabistan, having on the
south-west the district of Muhammareh and on the north the district of
Ahwaz, on the north-east the Jarrahi district, on the south-east Ma’shur
and on the south the Khur Musa and the open sea.
Boundaries .—The border of the district begins on the sea at the mouth
of Khur Silaik and follows that creek to Qubban. Then the boundary is the
Salmanieh canal until some marshes near the Karun are reached ; it then
runs more to the north than before and passes in succession by Maqtu’ and
’Ataishi to a locality named Khuwaiseh where there is some rising ground.
The line then turns eastward and goes by way of Qusaibeh, at the right bank
of the Jarrahi river just below the village of Qarqar. Crossing the river
it continues in a south-easterly and then in a southerly direction. It passes
