Khajeh Mount is a basalt lava formed like a trapezoid, which is about 609 meters high above the sea level, located in the middle of Hamoun Lake near Zabol city of Sistan va
Baluchistan province in the south east of Iran. Sistan (known as the land of sunrise) has been a thriving
region in Iran during Ashkanid (247 BC-224 AD) and Sasanid era (224-651 AD) and many monuments like fire
temples and castles with glorious corridors and porches were built on this
mountain which used to be an island in the middle of Hamoun Lake when it was
full of water. Hamoun Lake has been a holy water for Zoroaster people and they
believed that the Saoshyant (the promised savior) will rebirth out of this lake.
