Mamloo Dam

Mamloo Dam, one of the important natural attractions of Tehran Province, is located 45 kilometers southeast of the city of Tehran, in the village of Mamloo. The dam was built on the Jajrud River, near its confluence with the Damavand River. It is an earth-fill dam with a clay core, constructed to supply drinking and agricultural water for the region. The reservoir of Mamloo Dam holds about 250 million cubic meters and plays a vital role in supplying drinking water to the cities of Pakdasht and Varamin and to southern Tehran.

The lake behind Mamloo Dam, roughly 3,000 meters long and 800 meters wide, offers beautiful natural views. With its varied vegetation and the nearby Khojir National Park, the area is a great spot for nature lovers and photographers.

Besides supplying drinking water, Mamloo Dam is also used to irrigate the surrounding farmland. To reach Mamloo Dam, head east from Tehran and, after passing Jajrud, you will arrive at the village of Mamloo. The access road to the dam is paved and suitable for all types of vehicles. Since the dam is close to Tehran, visiting it makes a good option for a day trip.
