Masjed Soleyman has a population of just over 100,000, but don't expect an easy life here. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with the local government recently rocked by a corruption scandal. And the climate is punishing, with scorching summers reaching over 110°F. On the plus side, the city is home to a large Bakhtiari population, giving it a unique cultural flair. But overall, this dusty oil town is best suited for the hardy, not the faint of heart.
