Ahuan Park of Kish (Kish Deer Park)

Ahuan Park of Kish, once known as one of the prominent attractions of Kish Island, was located at the end of Ferdowsi Street, near Sahel Square. Covering an area of about 2 hectares, the park was established in 2001 (1380 in the Solar Hijri calendar). It drew the attention of tourists as a small zoo with a variety of animal species, including gazelles, lions, tigers, foxes, jackals, deer, peacocks and many kinds of birds.

One of the unique features of Ahuan Park was that the gazelles lived freely in their natural environment. This gave visitors a close and intimate experience with these animals. In addition, a small train carried tourists around the complex, and facilities such as play equipment for children were also provided.

Unfortunately, in 2011 (1390 in the Solar Hijri calendar), because of health and environmental concerns, Ahuan Park was demolished, and the Mika Mall shopping complex was built in its place; it is now considered one of the important shopping centers on Kish Island. Despite these changes, tourists still hold fond memories of visiting the park.
