Bandar Abbas Guide

Bandar Abbas Ferry Port

Found on the southern coast of Iran, Bandar Abbas is a port city and the capital of the Hormozgan Province. The port is primarily used to connect Iran with Oman, creating a simple, quick and convenient sailing for the passengers.

What is there to do in Bandar Abbas?

Like many small cities residing on the coast, Bandar Abbas relies primarily on the harbour for its main hub of activity. The lack of attractions sets it as a transport link, providing easy access to the much desired Hormuz Island. The waterfront promenade leading to the ferry terminal is arguably the most appealing part of the city; bustling markets lay close and a flea market takes place in the evening. Next to the markets and ships, fishermen line the docks, proudly boasting their catches for the day to the rushing tourists. The only standout landmark in the city is the Hindu Temple, showcasing the religious history of Iran. If you were to stray a little further from the city, the Genoo thermal springs is an ideal setting for a relaxing afternoon, allowing visitors the chance to enjoy natural spring water amid picturesque scenery.

How do visitors get around Bandar Abbas?

The city is small enough for much of it to be covered by foot, especially considering that much of the action revolves around the port.
