RAS is the airport code for Rasht Airport, serving Rasht, the capital of the Gilan province in the north of Iran, the largest city on the country's Caspian Sea coast. Unlike the deserts of much of Iran, Rasht lies in a green, lush and rainy land between the Caspian Sea and the Alborz mountains, a region of forests, rivers and rice paddies, with by far the heaviest rainfall in the country, which has earned Rasht the nickname of the City of Silver Rain. It is a lively, verdant city known above all for its food: Rasht is a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, celebrated across Iran for its rich and varied cuisine. The surrounding Gilan is a beautiful region of green countryside and Caspian coast. Rasht is reached by flights into its airport, from Tehran and other cities, and by road over the mountains. The climate is humid subtropical, mild and very rainy, quite unlike the rest of Iran.
