Bakhtiari rug.The Bakhtiar nomads live in the Zagros mountains to the east of the city of Isfahan, in the surroundings of the city of Shahr-e-Kurd. The majority of them speak Persian or a Luri dialect, while some of them, those who live in the province of Khuzestan, speak Arabic. The Bakhtiari men wear wide trousers, a round hat and a short tunic, a style of dressing so ancient that it dates back to the Parthian dynasty (200 BC–200 AD). The chieftain of the Bakhtiar nomads (the khan) has at times occupied positions of great power in the Persian society.
