Khomam (Persian: خمام)[a] is a city in the Central District of Khomam County, Gilan province, Iran, serving as the capital of both the county and the district.[4]

The city of Khomam is on the road connecting the two major and tourist cities of Gilan province, Rasht and Anzali. According to the police, Rasht to Khomam was the second-busiest road in the province in 2015.[citation needed]

Khomam is the nearest city to the center of Gilan province, Rasht, about 7 km, and to Anzali it is 15 km. Khomam is connected to the Caspian Sea in the north through the coast of Jafrud Bala (1.5 km long) and is considered a border town. In the west it is connected to the east coast of Anzali Lagoon through Dahaneh Sar-e Shijan village and Jirsar-e Baqer Khaleh village. 7 villages in the suburbs of Khomam are part of the Anzali Free Zone.[citation needed]
