Zayandeh Rud
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zayandeh Rud is a large river in Esfahan province of Iran.
It is one of Iran's few all-season rivers. It is surrounded by many parks and is spanned by many Safavid era historical bridges. It empties into the Gavkhuni lake, a seasonal salt lake, southeast of Isfahan.
Arthur Pope and his wife Phyllis Ackerman are buried in a small tomb in pleasant surroundings in its banks. Richard Frye has also requested to be buried there.[1]
