The Sayeh Khosh desert area lies to the west of the village of the same name. Sayeh Khosh is a village in the Central District of Bandar Lengeh County, 40 kilometers south of Khamir and 55 kilometers from Bandar Lengeh. Thanks to its proximity to the Persian Gulf and the many palm groves in the area, Sayeh Khosh is one of the tourist attractions of Bandar Lengeh and is considered one of the beautiful beaches of the south. The village also has a long history and is home to historical sites, including Band-e Hasan and a Safavid caravanserai.

One of the most interesting spots in this area is the Sayeh Khosh hot spring, which is located on the road from Bandar Khamir to Bandar Lengeh, about 4 kilometers from the village of Sayeh Khosh. The spring emerges from fissures in marly limestone on the mountainside. Its water contains sulfate, calcium with abundant magnesium, and large amounts of chloride and sodium, and it is warm. These properties give the water a warming quality and offer visitors a distinctive hot spring experience.

Along the desert route, beautiful kaluts (yardangs) lie in layers, and the views of sunset and sunrise among these kaluts are spectacular. The Sayeh Khosh spring is also located in this desert, among the limestone rocks, and is presented as an attractive place to visit. Around the Sayeh Khosh desert there are various tourist accommodations where travellers can stay.
