In the 9th episode of Paths Less Traveled - Iran, I’m visiting the absolute gem of Iran’s islands in the Persian Gulf - Hormuz (Hormoz).
Hormuz, in the Strait of Hormuz is sparsely developed but with incredible geological features and places that feel like you’re in an alien world!
We’ll travel all around the island, visiting the Silence Valley (دره سکوت), The Salt Goddess/Divine (الهه نمک), Rainbow Valley and the Rainbow Mountains (دره رنگینکمان), The Valley of the Statues (دره مجسمه ها), Red beach (Blood Beach) and Turtle Rock.
Of course they’ll be some great local food too, trying Tomshi Bread (made with local soil!) on the street, and the mind-blowingly delicious Ghalye Mahi (local fish stew).
Come and join me for what was always going to be a highlight of my trip around Iran!

PATHS LESS TRAVELED
In the late summer of 2022 I embarked on an epic road trip around Iran, during a time of unrest as protests escalated across the country.
Covering around 6200km over 24 days, I was able to see this incredible country in a way that many are not fortunate enough to see, and to record my experiences in a way that has not been done before.
Safety concerns meant that I had to limit my filming on occasion, and stay well away from any signs of the troubles going on.
However, what I did see was an incredible insight. Some of the most wonderful and welcoming people, incredible history and culture, and mind blowing food.
Paths Less Traveled - Iran is my story of my experiences, put in an in-depth series of Iran travel vlogs.
