Darabad

Darabad (in Persian: دارآباد) is a quarter of Tehran, the capital city of Iran.

Darabad is a former village on the slopes of Alborz mountain range to the northeast of Tehran which has attached to the Greater Tehran Area as a result of rapid expansion of the Tehran city. Darabad today is home to Iran's most famous museums for natural history called the Nature and Wildlife Museum of Iran. Many people use Darabad as the starting point for hiking the southern slpoes of Alborz, especially in the summer.
