Nain (Persian: نایین or نائين, also Romanized as Nāīn & Nāein) is a city and capital of Nain County, Isfahan Province, Iran. At the 2011 census, its population was 25,379 in 7,730 families.Nain (also known as Naein and Naeen) lies 170 km north of Yazd and 140 km east of Esfahan with an area of almost 35,000 km². Nain lies at an altitude of 1545 m above sea level. It has a maximum temperature of 41 °C in summer, and a minimum of -9 °C in winter. More than 3,000 years ago the Persians learned how to construct aqueducts underground (qanat in Persian: کاریز) to bring water from the mountains to the plains. In the 1960s this ancient system provided more than 70 percent of the water used in Iran and Nain is one of the best places in the entire world to see these qanats functioning. Unique to Nain are some of the most outstanding monuments in all of Iran: the Jame Mosque, one of the first four mosques built in Iran after the Islamic conquest; the Pre-Islamic Narej Fortress; a Pirnia traditional house; the Old Bazaar; Rigareh, a qanat-based watermill; and a Zurkhaneh (a place for traditional Persian sport). Besides its monuments, Nain is also known for its carpets, wool textile and home made pastry (copachoo) .Some linguists believe the word Nain may have been derived from the name of one of the descendants of the prophet Noah, who was called "Naen". Many local people speak an ancient Pahlavi Sassani dialect, the same dialect that is spoken by the Zoroastrians in Yazd today. Other linguists state that the word Nain is derived from the word "Nei" (“straw” in English) which is a marshy plant. It has one of the earliest remaining mosques in Iran, and has a Sassanid era fort, now in ruins, called Narin Ghal'eh. It extensively uses ab anbars. Nain is most famous in the world for its Persian rugs.
