Common card · No. 244693

Makran (Balochi, Persian and Urdu: مکران), also written as Mecran and Mokrān, is a semi-desert coastal strip in Pakistan and in Iran, along the coast of the Gulf of Oman. It is the southern coastal region of Balochistan, and extends westwards, from the Sonmiani Bay in Balochistan province of Pakistan to the northwest of Karachi in the east, to the fringes of the region of Bashkardia/Bāšgerd in the southern part of the Sistan and Baluchestan province of Iran. Makrān is thus bisected by the modern political boundary between Pakistan and Iran.
