"Travelogue of Bushehr and Hormozgan Beaches"

Determining the travel destination
The big paper map of Iran was wide in front of me. I was lying down and with my hands under my chin on the Persian Gulf, I was thinking why should I live in a city like Ahvaz at the end of the Iranian map, and my hand can hardly reach the beautiful shores of the Caspian Sea. I was getting up when this look from top to bottom disappeared and my eyes were opened to the beauty of the Persian Gulf. Suddenly, flashbacks of virtual world images of the beautiful beaches of Hormozgan passed before my eyes and a wide smile appeared on my lips.

Pencil in hand and Google Maps by my side, I opened my travel notebook to plan the new itinerary. This trip was supposed to be for my family, so I tried to make it light and comfortable according to their tastes. It took a few days to plan until I finally announced the travel plan to my companions with full satisfaction. The origin of the trip was Ahvaz and the destination was the beautiful port of Maqam. Be patient to find out what happened in the middle of February on the beautiful shores of the Persian Gulf.

Day 1: Moving from Ahvaz to Gnaveh - staying in Gnaveh

Day 2: Visiting Siraf Beach and Nakhel Taghi Port - Staying at Nakhel Taghi

First day: #no_to_buy!
After my companions arrived from Hamadan to Ahvaz, we started our tour of Iran on Saturday morning. We were supposed to stay one night in Ganaveh port and then continue the route. It was about a four-hour drive to Gnaveh, and we were not in a hurry, and when we parted, we had a view of fruitful and blessed groves on the way, which were beautifully stretched on both sides of the road in some parts of the route.

A view of the grove

As soon as we arrived in Gnaveh, we first went to the beach, but the strong wind stopped us from staying and we left to find a house for the night. The many notices of house rent had disfigured the city's doors and walls, from electric lamp posts to traffic lights and tree trunks, everyone was in possession of these paper numbers. Finally we found a house a little distance from the city center. What can I say about the house: half of the lamps are burned out, the window coolers are empty as if the house had a hole!, the cleaning of the carpet and bed is not to be mentioned.

But due to the numerous trips of the family and adaptability to any situation, positive energy was emitted from the members and this crypt became a royal palace ready to eat lunch! After the rest, the pleasure of shopping in Ganaveh markets did not leave sleepy eyes. Me, my wife and my father, as always, were running away from the crowd of such markets, which had no traditional texture to be seen, and no sign of the native culture of the region, overflowing with colorful goods on the water. So we kept the hashtag "No_to_Buy" with authority and stayed at home to prepare the chef's special omelette.
