Abadeh (Persian: آباده)[a] is a city in the Central District of Abadeh County, Fars province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4]
Abadeh is the largest city in the Northern Fars Region (South-Central Iran), which is famed for its carved wood-work, made of the wood of pear and box trees.[5] Sesame oil, castor oil, grain, and various fruits are also produced there. The area is famous for its Abadeh rugs.
The city is closer in road distance to the four provincial capitals of Isfahan (193 km), Yasuj (197 km), Yazd (217 km), and Shahrekord (237 km) compared with the distance to its own provincial capital, Shiraz (260 km).
