Siraf

Bushehr · IRAN DIGITAL WALL

Siraf is one of Iran’s most important historic ports on the Persian Gulf. From the Sasanian era through the early Islamic centuries, it served as a vital maritime link between Iran, India, China, East Africa and other distant lands. Architectural remains, a rock-cut cemetery and the dramatic meeting of mountain and sea evoke the port’s prosperous past. Siraf is also included on UNESCO’s World Heritage Tentative List.
