Visiting the beautiful Hormuz Island, known as the Rainbow Island thanks to its colorful mountains and beautiful soil is a MUST!

Some people may think that Iran only has forests, deserts, and mountains, but the vast land also has a group of islands in the southern part of the country in both the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. The beautiful Hormuz Island, known as the Rainbow Island is located in the Persian Gulf. Visiting this amazing island is a must which often, unfortunately, gets left off most travel itineraries. Here, we are going to get you through this majestic area.

Hormuz Island is located in the Persian Gulf, in the southern part of the country. The island covers an area of almost 42 km2 (16.2 sq. mi) with the highest altitude of 186 meters (610 ft.) above the sea level. The small island is about 5 miles (8 km) off the Iranian Coast in the Hormozgan Province. Its surface is covered by sedimentary rock and layers of volcanic material.

Due to its location, Hormuz Island has a tropical climate. Almost all the year, the humidity is about 95%. Summers are extremely hot and humid, with sunny days, and an average high temperature more than 45 °C. The lowest temperature at night is approximately 30 °C.
To visit the island it is best to travel there between November and April, in which the weather still remains warm, but not hot!
The life on Hormuz is still very much traditional; all people are centered in the main and only village of Hormuz. According to the 2016 census, there is around 7,000 inhabitants living on the island who speak a language which is a mixture of Farsi, Hindi, Arabic, and English. The language is also influenced by the dialect of local Bandar Abbas.
One of the main attractions of Hormuz Island is the way the local women dress. These clothes that are known as “Bandari Clothes” consist of slim-fit pants embroidered with gold threads and a chador full of floral patterns. In fact, their clothes are just like their nature; colorful and enticing! You can also see women working alongside men in the whole island.
