During the Safavid era (1501-1736), the empire was bordered by two major powerhouses in the region.

1. The Ottoman Empire: The Ottoman Empire, centered in present-day Turkey, was one of the most significant empires in history. It expanded across Turkey, parts of the Middle East, North Africa, and southeastern Europe.

2. The Mughal Empire: The Mughal Empire, located primarily in the Indian subcontinent, extended its rule from the early 16th century to the 19th century. It covered large parts of modern-day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

These were the two empires that bordered the Safavid Empire during its existence.
