Arad (Persian: ارد)[a] is a city in, and the capital of, Arad District of Gerash County, Fars province, Iran.[4] It also serves as the administrative center for Arad Rural District.[5]

The outskirts of the city include many farming areas and dry open land. Arad is enclosed by two large mountains running parallel to the city. This makes travel to the city difficult. There is one two sided paved road running from a two-way split further down the road. This highway runs both east and west to large cities such as Jahrom, Qom, Firouzabad, Shiraz, Lar, Evaz, Gerash, and continues all the way South to the port city of Bandar Abbas.
