Mogok is a city located 200 km north of Mandalay and 148 km northeast of Shwebo. The city is composed of two towns, Mogok and Kyat Pyin. Mogok is 7km long and 3km wide. It is situated in a valley surrounded by a large number of mountains. Kyat Pyin lies about 19km from Mogok. Tourist travel to the area is not permitted. 

Mogok and other villages nearby have been famous since ancient times for its gemstones, especially ruby and sapphire, but semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli, garnet, moonstone, peridot and chrysoberyl are also found. The gems are found in alluvial marble gravels by means of panning, tunneling and digging pits by hand. There is little mechanization of the mining. The gravels derive from the metamorphosed limestones (marbles) of the Mogok metamorphic belt. 90% of the world's rubies come from Myanmar.  Gems are sold in markets in Mogok. However, foreigners require special permits to visit the town.
