Lengeh Port

Bandar Lengeh, located in the west of Hormozgan province of Iran on the coast of Persian Gulf, is known as a historical port which was a vital port during Achaemenid Empire. Bandar Lengeh is in the southernmost point of Iran’s border with Persian Gulf; hence it had the minimum distance with other countries and their ports. It is historically famous as the pearl port in Persian Gulf because around 70 years ago, Bandar Lengeh was the main center of pearl hunting globally. Moreover it was known as the bride port of Iran since it was the most prosperous port in Iran previously. 

Its connection with the road network of Iran in three directions, proper geographical location, strong communication of its residents with neighboring countries of Iran, proximity to Strait of Hormuz and international waters, and the short distance between Bandar Lengeh and the neighboring countries have helped Bandar Lengeh to become a strategic Iranian port in south of Iran.
