World largest Salt Cave-Qeshm Island(Click for larger view)

Namakdan Cave on Qeshm Island is one of the masterpieces of creation.

The cave is an appropriate place for treating those who suffer from

asthma and respiratory problems.

Located a few kilometers off the southern coast of Iran (Persian

Gulf), opposite the port cities of Bandar Abbas and Bandar Khamir,

Namakdan Cave has also the best quality salt useful for treating

respiratory problems.

With a height of 237 meters and length of over 6,000 meters, this

natural attraction is considered the largest salt cave worldwide.

Given its interior salt stalactites and crystals, and saltwater flow

outside, Namakdan Cave displays eye-catching scenery as every part of

this natural attraction offers a unique view.

The cave, 90 km off Qeshm Island, has several major and minor

passages, first of which is located 670 meters from the entrance.

The underground water, which erupts in the cave, flows on mountain

slopes in the form of a salt spring. It piles up in a hole and looks

like snow. Elements such as magnesium are also found in the cave’s

salt used by athletes.
