Qeshn

Qeshn is a small island located in the Persian Gulf, off the southern coast of Iran. Administratively, it is part of the Hormozgan Province. The island is known for its natural beauty, including pristine beaches, coral reefs, and diverse marine life. Its strategic location has historically made it a point of interest for trade and maritime activities.

The island's economy is largely based on fishing and tourism. Visitors are drawn to Qeshn for its clear waters, ideal for diving and snorkeling, as well as its unique geological formations. The arid climate of the region means that vegetation is sparse, but the coastal areas support a rich ecosystem. The local culture reflects the broader traditions of southern Iran, with distinct influences from its maritime heritage.

Qeshn is also home to a protected marine area, the Qeshn Island Marine Protected Area, which aims to conserve its valuable biodiversity. The island's development has seen an increase in infrastructure to support tourism, including hotels and transportation links. Despite its small size, Qeshn plays a role in the regional economy and offers a glimpse into the natural and cultural landscape of the Persian Gulf.
