Stars Valley

Stars Valley

People of the "Stars Valley" believe that once a huge star fell on their village (in the corner of Qeshm island, located in south of Iran) and made strange design of soil and stone and a shape there remained forever. The Stars Valley is known as one of the most beautiful geological manifestations in Qeshm Island. It has been created in Berkeh Khalaf Village gradually and through erosion.

Mangrove forests

Mangrove forests

The Mangrove forests of Qeshm or Hara forests of Qeshm is the common name for mangrove forests on the southern coast of Iran, particularly on and near the island of Qeshm in the Persian Gulf. Dominated by the species Avicennia marina, known locally as the "hara" or "harra" tree, the forests represent an important ecological resource. The "Hara Protected Area" on Quesm and the nearby mainland is a biosphere reserve where commercial use is restricted to fishing (mainly shrimp), tourist boat trips, and limited mangrove cutting for animal feed.

The island is totally flat and when there is a low tide, a narrow patch of land connects Naz to Qeshm Island.Presently there are no dwellers on the island and local fishermen have built arbors there as temporary resting places. The island becomes more picturesque after sunset.
