Khazaran was a city in the Khazar kingdom, located on the eastern bank of the lower Volga River.
Khazaran was later inhabited primarily by Muslims and featured numerous mosques, minarets, and madrasas.
It was a bustling trade center easily reachable by ship from the Caspian Sea and Volga River, and many of its inhabitants were crafters, fishers, and traders.
The leader of the city was a Muslim official known as the Khazz; in Arab sources the title given is sometimes vizier.
