It is not clear whether it should be called a desert or a coast! The beautiful place in Bandar-e Lengeh is close to the sea despite its appearance which is like a big and deep desert. The ancient and historical monuments of the district are a lot like other ports and old cities of Iran.
44 kilometers from Khamir and 55 kilometers from Bandar-e Lengeh that owes its name to a nearby village, there are beautifully carved Kaluts that have been formed by the wind blowing and water have given it a strange shape that can rarely be found anywhere in the world.
This desert also has a spring with the same name that is seething in the mountain skirt and between marl limestones.
