Bushehr Province in Iran

About Bushehr

Bandar-e Bushehr is also called Bushehr port city and capital of Bushehr province, southwestern Iran. It is beside the head of the Persian Gulf at the northern end of a flat and narrow peninsula that is connected with the mainland by tidal marshes. During the reign of Nader Shah when he established a naval base there in 1734 to control the periphery of the Persian Gulf, Bushehr rose to prominence in Iran. In the 1780s the English and Dutch East India companies transferred their trading posts to Bushehr from Bandar-e ʿAbbas another port city in Iran. It became the seat of a British political resident in the 19th century and of several European consulates. This city has commercial importance declined with the development by the Iranian government in the 1960s and ’70s of Khorramshahr as the principal port for the Persian Gulf. Bushehr continues to serve as a port, though it is eclipsed by Bandar-e ʿAbbas and Bandar-e Khomeyni (formerly Bandar-e Shahpur). Bushehr after Bandar Abbas is the second main naval port of Iran. Recently, Bushehr also has come back in the spotlight for below main reasons:

Kharg Island (Khark Island)

During and after the Iran-Iraq war, Iran’s major petroleum exporting ports in Khuzestan sustained damages so severe that the second port in Kharg Island was selected to carry on the major responsibility of Iran’s petroleum exports, though even Kharg was not immune from Iraqi air raids.

Khark Island

Bushehr Nuclear Reactor

The Bushehr Light water PWR Nuclear Reactor, designed by Siemens AG, built by the Russians, is Iran’s first Nuclear Power Plant reactor.

The industrial corridor of Assalouyeh

More than 70,000 foreign engineers and technicians are currently working in this industrial zone 270 kilometers south of the provincial capital. This zone is where the nearby famous South Pars Gas Field is located, where Iran has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure. The South Pars Gas Field is the largest natural gas field in the world.

Land of Friendly People

Bushehr province is located in the southwest of Iran on the shores of the Persian Gulf. The province has both sandy and rocky seaside. common water sports like boat riding, swimming and water skiing are very popular. Another entertaining activity is accompanying fishermen hunting oysters and corals. There are also many beautiful islands like Khark, Kharkou, Sheif, Abbasak, Nakhilou, Om Ol-Karam, Mattaf, Morghi, and Tahmadou Cheraghi. The ethnic makeup of Bushehr province consists of Arabs, Lurs, and Behbahanis. These people, however, have created a specific ethnic identity of their own. Almost all people speak a local dialect. The Arabic language is also spoken in Kangan harbor and the islands of Asaluye and Shiel. Peculiar local dances are common in the province, similar in style to African and Arabian dances. these include Zarif, Kurayi, and Latifi dances. local people also hold special ceremonies that are specific to the region.

Based on historical documents and archeological findings, Siraf port was one of the most important ports of the Sassanid era.
