Little Forur Island

Little Forur Island, also known as "Bani Forur" and "Forurgan", is one of Iran's uninhabited islands in the Persian Gulf. Located in Hormozgan Province near Abu Musa Island, it is part of the Kish District of Bandar Lengeh County. With an area of about 1.5 square kilometres, Little Forur is one of the smallest islands in Iran. In 1389 (2010), the island was added to the Kish Free Zone, and thanks to its distinctive geographic location, it has both environmental and strategic importance.

Little Forur is recognised as one of Iran's protected natural areas. The island is home to a variety of migratory and native bird species, and with its coral reefs and clear waters, it is a good destination for birdwatchers and nature lovers. The island's vegetation consists of salt-tolerant and drought-resistant plants that have adapted to the region's hot, dry climate. Little Forur is also known as a habitat of sea turtles, which lay their eggs on its shores.

Because of its remote location, reaching Little Forur Island is relatively difficult and is possible mainly by private boat or limited sea tours. The best time to visit the island is autumn and winter, when the weather in the region is milder and conditions are well suited to nature tourism. When visiting, it is especially important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism and protect the environment, so that you can enjoy its natural beauty while helping to preserve it.
