Qeshm Island tour is a 7-day tour package that starts and ends in Qeshm. We have a very unique trip to one of Iran's Islands. Qeshm Island tour includes sightseeing, accommodation, guide, transport, and more. Qeshm is not only the Largest Island in the Persian Gulf but is the largest independent island in the world. Due to its strategic location and booming market and importation of goods, major and private ports of the island are pretty active. During Sassanid era it was called Abrkavan. Although Qeshm is rather independent in every way, for some administration reasons, is now considered part of Hormozgan province. Don’t miss these amazing natural attractions if you are thinking of travelling to Qeshm. Namakdan salt dome, Star Valley, Portuguese fortresses and beaches are among the tourist attractions of the island. South of Iran has also its own cuisine. Tomoshy is a very thin local bread with a special sauce, baked while filled with eggs and cheese. Locals have also their specific drink, milk-tea. The average temperature in Qeshm is 26 °c and the warmest months begin from June and continues to August while the coldest time start from October to January.

Some steps away we can detect Borka Khalaf, one of the most mysterious places in Iran. The Stars Valley, which is full of enormous natural stone columns, catches every visitor’s eyes at once. The cryptic shape of this land is believed to be molded by the star fall occurring thousands of years ago. Thus, it is named “The Valley of Stars”. This great valley attracts curious groups of photographers, astronomy lovers, and campers annually. The night sky full of stars above the Valley and the morning sunlight playing in the maze of gorges deserve a scene from a fantasy movie. Lose yourself in the greatness of the Stars Valley, feel the cool breeze while listening to the sound of silence and enjoy the unique view.

At low tide, the intertidal zone of Qeshm connects the islands to the shore while during high tides the littoral zone is submerged and two hills form islands. En route to Khurbas caves, in the heart of the Heights, there are magnificent rocky architectures; some believe that they were temples of Mithraism. These caves date back to the Median Empire. These are 4 interconnected caves that are located in the height of 30 meters. The caves are one of the ancient Geological phenomena, which are the sequences of the Zagrous Mountains. After visiting the caves, we drive to the Crocodile Park and enjoy wildlife in a safe and secure way. There is still more to visit in Qeshm.
