Moab (/ˈmoʊ.æb/ ) is the largest city and county seat of Grand County[5] in eastern Utah in the western United States, known for its dramatic scenery. The population was 5,366 at the 2020 census.[6] Moab attracts many tourists annually, mostly visitors to the nearby Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.
