Sabirabad lies at the confluence of Azerbaijan's two most important rivers, the Kura and the Aras, about a hundred and fifty kilometres south-west of Baku, and with around forty thousand inhabitants is the centre of a flourishing agricultural district in the Mughan Steppe. The town was founded in 1931 and renamed in 1933 after the famous satirical poet Mirza Alakbar Sabir, who was known for his sharp social criticism in the early twentieth century. The surrounding alluvial soils support the cultivation of cotton, wheat, pomegranates and especially watermelons, whose sweetness and juiciness are renowned across the country. Notable sights include the bridge and monument at the confluence of the two rivers, the Sabir statue in the central park and the local history museum, which displays archaeological finds from the Mughan Steppe and ethnographic collections of traditional regional life.
