Mir Mohanna Island

Mir Mohanna Island is one of Iran's uninhabited islands, located in the Persian Gulf in Bushehr Province. The island lies about 15 kilometres from the city of Bandar Genaveh, facing the southern shores of Bandar Rig. It is named after Mir Mohanna Bandar Rigi, one of the commanders of southern Iran, who resisted the Portuguese and Dutch colonisers.

With its unspoiled nature and peaceful scenery day and night, Mir Mohanna Island offers travellers an exceptional opportunity. On the island you will find a massive tree known as the "Konar of Mir Mohanna" (the Mir Mohanna jujube tree), which has become one of the local symbols. The island is also known as the "Island of Grapes and Figs", because grape and fig orchards and trees grow there, and its fruit has been prized from the past to the present. In addition, there is a shrine called "Qadamgah of Amir al-Mu'minin (AS)" on the island, which is regarded as a spiritual site for visitors.

To reach Mir Mohanna Island, first go to Bandar Rig and then head to the island by local boat or lenj (traditional dhow). The best time to visit is autumn and winter, when the weather is milder and tourist facilities are more suitable. While visiting, it is important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as not leaving litter on the shores, respecting native plants and old trees, and not lighting fires on the beach, so that this natural environment is preserved for future generations.
