Hormuz Island in Oman is so unreally beautiful that visitors feel like they are lost in a mysterious outer space world.
The island of Hormuz was formed 600 million years ago. But only in the last 50 thousand years has this place become known to the indigenous people and the world with the fame of a magical land, with the unique magical chameleon color on the planet.
This place has a beauty that makes many tourists amazed because it owns a unique ruby red beach in the world. After many years of effort and research, scientists have finally found the agent that makes the beach on Hormuz Island covered in a deep red color like a sea of blood. All because of Gelack originating from the mountain rich in red oxide soil near the coast.
Gelack is located deep underground on a mountain that has faded red into the sea water and the sand strip spread across the island of Hormuz, creating a stunning natural picture that makes anyone immersed and reluctant to leave. Strolling on the island of Hormuz, you can bury your feet in the sand mixed with both black and red, gaze at the red waves and capture unique photos that cannot be seen anywhere else.
The sand and soil at the beach are also attractive to visitors because they can be eaten. The islanders use the red, oxide-rich soil to cook fish, bake bread, and make pickles, jams, and sauces.
This beach has become a social media phenomenon as many tourists have shared their photos here. They believe that this is a magical beauty of Persia and want more people to know about it.
Hormuz Island still retains its original wildness, with its natural beauty as a gift from nature, the island attracts many visitors and becomes a dream destination for many travel enthusiasts. Coming here, you can also visit other places such as Salt Mountain or Rainbow Valley to make your trip more complete.
