Khuzestan's strategic importance ensures it is well-connected by various modes of transportation.
* **Air:** Ahvaz International Airport handles domestic and regional flights. Abadan Airport, one of the oldest in the country, and Mahshahr Airport also serve the province. * **Rail:** The Trans-Iranian Railway passes through Khuzestan, connecting the Persian Gulf ports (Bandar-e Emam Khomeyni and Khorramshahr) through Ahvaz to Tehran and beyond. * **Roads:** A comprehensive network of highways and national roads links Khuzestan's cities and connects the province to central Iran and the Iraqi border (frequented by religious pilgrims heading to Karbala). * **Ports:** The province features critical seaports, notably Imam Khomeini Port (a major bulk cargo terminal) and the Port of Khorramshahr. * **Local Transit:** Intra-city transport primarily relies on extensive taxi networks, shared taxis (savari), and public bus systems. An urban metro system for Ahvaz has been under construction but has faced significant delays.
