One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My Experiences Traveling to the Southern Islands of Iran and Working in the Oil and Gas Industry

Over the past seven years, I have had the opportunity to travel to some of the most beautiful and pristine southern islands of Iran while working on ships and oil platforms in the oil industry. These experiences not only allowed me to witness incredible natural landscapes but also to get acquainted with local cultures and people. Here are some of the islands and my experiences in each:

#### Siri Island
Siri Island, with its beautiful beaches and clear waters, was one of my favorite destinations. On this island, I had the opportunity to go diving and enjoy the underwater world.

#### Lavan Island
Lavan, the second-largest island in Iran after Qeshm, with its untouched and pristine nature, provided me with a unique experience. Walking along the long beaches and watching the sunset are among my most beautiful memories on this island.

#### Farsi Island
Farsi Island, with its rich history and stunning natural landscapes, was another destination of mine. Visiting historical sites and getting to know the local culture were the highlights of this trip.

#### Kharg Island
Kharg, with its strategic location and unique nature, offered me a different experience. Visiting the rocky beaches and watching migratory birds were some of the attractions of this island.

#### Qeshm Island
Qeshm, the largest island in Iran, with its numerous natural and historical attractions, was one of my main destinations. Visiting the Valley of Stars, salt caves, and mangrove forests are among my unforgettable experiences on this island.

#### Kish Island
Kish, with its modern recreational and tourism facilities, provided me with a different experience. Participating in water activities, visiting the underground city of Kariz, and watching dolphins were some of the attractions of this island.

#### Shidvar Island
Shidvar, with its untouched and pristine nature, was one of the islands that few people have visited. This island, with its beautiful beaches and clear waters, was a peaceful and pleasant place for relaxation.

### Working in the Oil Industry
In addition to traveling to these beautiful islands, I worked on ships and oil platforms in the oil industry. This experience allowed me to become familiar with the challenges and opportunities of this industry and to enhance my technical and managerial skills.

### Visiting the Attractions of Khuzestan, Bushehr, and Hormozgan
Besides traveling to the islands, I have also visited most of the attractions in the provinces of Khuzestan, Bushehr, and Hormozgan. From visiting historical and cultural sites to experiencing local foods and getting to know the hospitable people of these regions, all have been part of my valuable experiences.

"Happiness is only real when shared, and this principle lies at the heart of my friendships, The power of friendship and the memories we make together on this journey are above and beyond all the joy in the world to me"
