Kish Island

 Hi readers!

    My name is Kian Hesam😁. I love traveling to new places and finding out about various cultures and tastes. Today I will talk about my experience at Kish Island in Bandar Abbas, Iran. 

Kish Island, also known as the "Pearl of the Persian Gulf," is a resort island located in the Persian Gulf off the southern coast of Iran. Here's some information about Kish Island:

1. Location: Kish Island is part of the Hormozgan Province of Iran and is situated about 19 kilometers (12 miles) off the mainland. It is close to the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which a significant portion of the world's oil supply passes.

2. Size and Population: Kish Island covers an area of approximately 91 square kilometers (35 square miles), making it one of the larger islands in the Persian Gulf. The population of the island is around 40,000, although this number can significantly increase during tourist seasons.

3. Tourism: Kish Island is a popular tourist destination known for its beautiful beaches, clear turquoise waters, and luxury resorts. It offers a wide range of recreational activities such as water sports, scuba diving, snorkeling, jet skiing, and parasailing. The island is also known for its shopping centers, duty-free shopping, and numerous malls.

4. Duty-Free Zone: Kish Island is a designated duty-free zone, which means that visitors can enjoy tax exemptions on many goods such as electronics, cosmetics, and clothing. This has contributed to the island's popularity among shoppers and international tourists.

5. Infrastructure: Kish Island has a well-developed infrastructure with modern facilities, including hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, and transportation services. The island is easily accessible via air and sea routes, with its international airport serving both domestic and international flights.

6. Historical and Cultural Attractions: Apart from its natural beauty, Kish Island has some notable historical and cultural attractions. The Greek Ship, a shipwreck located on the island's coast, is a popular tourist site. The underground city of Kariz, which dates back over 2,500 years, is another fascinating attraction. Kish also has a number of ancient sites and archaeological remains that showcase its rich history.

7. Events and Festivals: Kish Island hosts various events and festivals throughout the year, including international conferences, exhibitions, and sports tournaments. The island's annual Kish International Film Festival attracts filmmakers and cinema enthusiasts from around the world.

8. Free Trade Zone: Kish Island operates as a free trade zone, offering investment opportunities and incentives for businesses. It has attracted both domestic and foreign investors, leading to the establishment of industrial parks and commercial centers on the island.

It's important to note that while Kish Island is part of Iran, it has different regulations and more relaxed social norms compared to the mainland. It offers a unique experience for visitors seeking leisure, shopping, and relaxation in a relatively more open and tourist-friendly environment.

JA'SHAHR

 

Hi readers!

    My name is Kian Hesam😁. I'm an experienced barista man and Business student who worked in cafes in Iran and abroad. Today I will talk about my experience at Ja'SHAHR in Bandar Abbas, Iran.

    I could see from far away, it was very crowded and as my friend said, it might take an hour for a pizza to be prepared. Well, when we parked the car and went closer was crowded everywhere, as I thought, and there was no place to sit inside, and you had to sit outside (They had an open area as well) to vacant the inside. Except in winter, sitting outside is hard because of the high temperature and humidity weather. My friend said the order and I went to the cashier to order.

Pizza

    After waiting for about 15 minutes, it got empty inside and we were able to find a table upstairs. One more 15 minutes took for our order to get ready. Our order was roast beef, pepperoni, and Diablo pizza. My problem with Iranian pizza is that they are made with a lot of ingredients such as meat, cheese, etc. I personally don't understand anything about the flavors and you just feel that your stomach is full. The dough of all pizzas was normal and dry. Among them, roast beef was the best, which had a better taste. The pepperoni was very different from the original pepperoni taste and I personally did not like it at all. Very large pieces of pepperoni and the strange taste were the negative points of this item. In the case of Pietra Diablo, the chicken was too oily. Another negative point was the temperature inside Jashahr, which was very hot so I was sweating a lot. The behavior of the staff was average and I don't think they could fully support the customers.

In the end, It's good to visit them once and get their experience but I don't think you will be back there again!

By the way, they gave 500,000 IRR gift vouchers and I would thank to them ❤️!

Overall:

❌Bad points:

1. The dough was not good

2. The item cost and what you get are not satisfactory

 3. High temperature of interior place

4. Low quantity of interior table

✅Positive points:

1. Modern and unique design 

2. friendly and warm atmosphere

3. Adequate variety of foods

4. Cooking good

Hi readers!

    My name is Kian Hesam😁. I'm an experienced barista man who worked in Iran and abroad. Today I will talk about my experience at Call Cafe in Bandar Abbas, Iran.

    The external and internal design was beautiful and almost creative. The interior area was made of natural green plants such as ivy. A table made of tree trunks with almost comfortable chairs created a warm and pleasant environment. Cal Café design! 

    The cafe seems almost crowded. The behavior and service of the crew were good. The bar was managed by 2 baristas and outside by 3 waiters, 2 ladies, and a gentleman.

    The clarity and readability of the cafe menu were not bad. The variety of drinks, the garnish, the taste, and the specialness of the drink were typical. The price of drinking was reasonable as well.

Overall:

❌Bad points:

1. The drinks stains were has been falling on the table that made it sticky.

2. The drink was not strained and the lemon seeds popped into your mouth every time.

3. Photography with a camera was prohibited.

✅Positive points:

1. The price is suitable.

2. friendly and pleasant atmosphere.

3. Adequate variety of drinks.
