The story

Kish Island Nowruz Festival in Kish Island

Kish Island, a free-trade resort island in the Persian Gulf, becomes one of Iran's busiest Nowruz destinations during the two-week new year holiday, with concerts, markets and beachfront events drawing large numbers of domestic tourists to its shopping centers and coastline.

Kish Island occupies a small stretch of the Persian Gulf off Iran's southern coast, a 91.5-square-kilometer island whose modern identity has been built almost entirely around its status as a free-trade zone.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Kish's free-trade zone status makes it a shopping-focused getaway distinct from the rest of Iran, with duty-free malls and resort infrastructure that give the island's Nowruz season a more overtly festive, tourist-oriented character than the more family- and home-centered celebrations found elsewhere in the country

02

The mystery stays covered

With an estimated 12 million visitors annually and a small resident population, the island's economy and event calendar are built almost entirely around tourism, and Nowruz, Iran's biggest annual travel period, represents one of its peak seasons
