Karaj campus

Alborz Province is one of the 31 provinces of Iran, centered in Karaj.
Situated northwest of Tehran, the Province of Alborz has 6 counties, Karaj County, Savojbolagh County, Taleqan County, Eshtehard County, Fardis County and Nazarabad County. Karaj is the seat of the province. Alborz Province is situated 35 km west of Tehran, at the foothills of the Alborz mountains, and is Iran's smallest province in area.
According to the National Census, in 2011 population of Alborz was 2,412,513 out of which 90,5% lived in urban areas.
 

Get in

By Train: Karaj is easily accessible using the metro system of Tehran. Line 5 takes passengers to the city in less than an hour. There are 3 metro stations in Karaj at the east, center and west. The trains are very comfortable and the price is 1200 Tomans.  It takes 15 minutes from Golshahr stations to university by taxi(Van).

By Car: Karaj is connected to Qazvin (80km) in the west and Tehran (35km) in the east. It takes less than an hour to drive from Tehran to Karaj. From Mazandaran province Karaj is connected to Chalous city by the famous Chalous road. It is one of the most beautiful roads of Iran, which runs between mountains. However it is not recommended in the winter season because the road may become a little slippery because of possible snow.
By Taxi: There are many taxi routes which are between Tehran and Karaj, most of which pass through Tehran-Karaj Highway. The best places where you can get a taxi to Karaj in Tehran are: Azadi Square, Vanak Square, Tajrish Square etc.
