Qeshm Island is located in the south of Iran in Hormozgan province and is the largest island in the Tang-e Hormuz. Since this island is located in the south of Bandar Abbas, it is limited from the north to Bandar Abbas, from the east to Larak Island, from the south to Hengam Island and from the southwest to Abu Musa Islands and Big and Small Tonb.
The Aali Mohammad (Ali Mohammad) Gorge is actually one of the geo-sites of the Qeshm Great Geopark, the first geopark in the Middle East, which few people know about, so if you are adventurous, be sure to ask your Qeshm tour guide to guide you to see the “Aali Mohammad Gorge”.
The Aali Mohammad is truly a beauty and a masterpiece of nature. A gorge with rocks and sunken and beautiful niches as if a skilled artist spent years creating it.
This gorge is known by names including the following:
Great gorge of Qeshm
Dare Mohammad Aali
Tangeh Mohammad Aali
narrow waterway
Tight stone and water
Sangab Gorge of Qeshm
Tang-e Ali Mohamad
Structurally, this strait is a combination between “Cahkoh strait” and “Karian strait” of Qeshm, with the difference that its nature is very pristine and unknown. Many tourists in Qeshm are unaware of the existence of this gorge, which has made them miss seeing such an amazing attraction, don’t miss this opportunity.
Aali Mohammad Gorge was located in Hormozgan province, Qeshm city, Hera district, southwest of “Eastern Chahkoh village”. This gorge is much bigger and wider than the Chahkoh gorge, and since its path is very ups and downs, you can only go to the first entrance of the gorge by car and continue the rest of the way on foot. If you are going to visit the Aali Mohammad Gorge in autumn and winter, which is the best time to travel to Qeshm, be sure to go early in the morning because in the late hours of the day, the gorge gets dark earlier than other places and has an eerie and, of course, attractive atmosphere. The sound of the wind blowing in the gorge, the roaring of the water, the turquoise ponds, the strange and pasty shape of the rocks are all gathered together to steal your heart in this area. So you never feel the passage of time in it. In the travel plan to Qeshm, rarely anyone mentions the Aali Mohammad Gorge and few people are aware of its existence, so the presence of a local and native guide or leader is highly effective in visiting the Qeshm tourist attractions completely. Besides these, the stories told about the gorge by the local people are also very sweet and audible.
Due to the fact that Qeshm Island is located in the south of the country, its climate is warm and humid due to its being an island. From July to September, it can be said that it is almost the hottest days of the island, but instead the cost of your trip at this time is half of the other months of the year. But the best time to visit Qeshm is January and February, when the temperature of the island reaches about 30 degrees Celsius and the lowest reaches about 15 degrees Celsius.
Visiting the Aali Mohammad is one day. For this reason, there is no need for camping equipment. Having trekking shoes, water and food for a day is essential. In addition, visiting this path requires a guide.
The distance between Tange Aali Mohammad and Qeshm city is 100 km, which can be traveled in 90 minutes. After this route, there is a relatively long walk that takes more than two hours.
The best plan to visit this canyon is to leave Qeshm early in the morning and dedicate the whole day to visit this canyon.
It is possible to trekking in the Aali Mohammad canyon, which of course requires professional teams.
