Wherethehellis Kish, you ask?
Kish has piqued my interest.
In case you don’t know - I certainly didn’t - Kish is an island in Iran, easily accessible from Dubai. Not only does Kish Air and Queshm Air (se last post) fly regularly and frequently, but there’s also a boat.
Kish Island is a free trade zone and a resort island in the Persian Gulf. And while I’m not much of a resort person, Kish seems to be an easy introduction to Iran, with the possibility of staying for 14 days visa-free. Although as Westerner, I may be sternly questioned as to the purpose of my visit.
Kish even claims to have a 7-star hotel - the Flower of the East. It seems Kish is competing with Dubai and Abu Dhabi, home of the world’s only two (self-proclaimed) 7-star hotels so far.
Interesting!
