Arka - hormuz Island
Welcome to the Rainbow Island! The beauties of the stunning Hormuz Island which is peacefully lying in the peerless Persian Gulf, are out of this world. The reddish ochre soil resembling Mars not only does attract a great number of tourists, but also is used in locals’ cuisine! That’s right, the island has edible soil!
The sedimentary rock and layers of volcanic material on Hormuz’ surface have earned the island the title of Geological Museum and Geologists' Paradise.
