Nestled along the coast of the Persian Gulf, it serves as one of the region's historical and commercial ports, making it one of the oldest ports in Iran. The origins of the port date back over 3,000 years, with historical records indicating that the city has shifted locations five times throughout its long history. The current settlement, known as Kong, is approximately 400 years old and boasts a vibrant, dynamic atmosphere that continues to thrive. One of the most striking features of Bandar Kong is its unique architecture, characterized by traditional houses and tall windbreaks that dot the landscape. Covering an area of 5 square kilometers, Bandar Kong includes 58 hectares of historical texture, which represents about one-twelfth of the city’s total area. This historical section was officially registered on the national heritage list in 2002, and efforts are currently underway to secure its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The remaining areas of the city are considered to be developed, showcasing a blend of historical charm and modern growth.
