Hormuz Island is an Iranian island in the Persian Gulf, 8 kilometers off the Iranian coast. Hormuz is the island of colorful beaches and many people refer to it as the Rainbow Island.
The wide ranging colors of the soil include white, yellow, red, green, orange, beige, brown, light turquoise, and even gold. From a geology perspective, the island is one of the most important salt domes of the world; due to these features, it is given the name lithology lab. The agile artists of the island also produce hand arts such as colorful paintings made with their valuable soil, also very popular among tourists.
The only edible mountain of the world is located in Hormuz Island that its red soil is used in baking the local bread called ‘tomshi’.
The people of Hormuz have their own special way of cooking. They take the fresh fish of their waters, such as sardines, kilka and another kind called ‘momagh’, clean them and marinate them in the peel of sour oranges and this particular sauce in a large container and leave it in the sun for two days. Then it's cooked to become a delicious meal called ‘suragh’. Its appetizing taste and color are very popular among tourists from both Iran and abroad. Very few visitors to this island leave without having tasted the dish.
