Gerash () is a city in the Central District of Gerash County, Fars province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.
==History== The people of Gerash were native Persians following the Zoroastrian faith before converting to Shia Islam in the 5th century of Hijrah (11th century AD) by Amir Mohi al-Din Ibn Amir Qotb al-Din Ibn Amir Rooh al-Din, a direct descendant of Muhammad, and an aide of Afeef-Addeen Al Musawi, to whom the conquest of certain areas in the South of Iran by Arab Muslim warriors is attributed.
