Along Qeshm Island, there are mountains whose height is rarely ever more than three hundred meters. The length of these mountains from east to west of the island almost equals the length of Qeshm Island which is about one hundred and ten kilometers.
Qeshm Mountains have a totally special condition and shape. They are made horizontal and parallel sedimentary layers such that tracing all the layers of the mountains is possible throughout the island. The layers are only out of their horizontal shape at two points due to salt domes.

In the western side of the island where the Salt Dome (Namakdan Mountain) is located, the height of the layers have increased and reached 395 meters by the pressure from the dome. The mountains height at other points is about two hundred meters. There are totally flat plains on these high places and very good vegetation (like the zone known as Bam-e Qeshm where there are old trees in). There are high walls around these mountains which have worn out and created new looks caused by the wind, rain and sea.
The plains, valleys, coasts and mountains of the island have a unique and rare condition in terms of vegetation, wildlife and rare geological phenomena.

The western side of Qeshm Island includes the most valuable habitats and stunning, rare and great geological phenomena can be seen a lot in this part of the island.

stars-valley-3

Stars Valley

Stars Valley on Qeshm with a historical background of about two million years have been created as a result of soil, stone and sand erosion caused by the wind, rain, and shower. The valley is a rare natural masterpiece on the beautiful island of Qeshm.

The northern side of Qeshm Island is close to Berke-ye Khalaf Village have shown its strange geological feature. Residents of the area believe that a start fell from the sky and created strange shapes out of the soil, stones, and sand.

The local people believe that when it gets darker, the place is filled with ghosts and goblins moving around. However, nothing has been proven so far. Due to the special shape and different volumes and the erosion phenomenon, when the wind gusts blow around the columns and hollows of the valley, sounds are made and it seems that is why local people believe that the place is turned into a location for the ghosts and goblins when it gets dark.

The features and exquisite sights of Stars Valley have caused the valley be registered in the list of UNESCO as a section of Qeshm Island Geo-park. It is noteworthy that Qeshm Geopark with its natural and historical beauties is the only Geopark in the Middle East.

On moonlit nights when silence is ruling everywhere and the sky and the starts are felt closer to the ground, the beauties f the valley are doubled. Narrow and at times wide paths on the roundabouts of the columns of Stars Valley catch the eyes of any visitor with their special order.
