Kish Island, formerly known as Qays, has always been part of Iran during the Achaemenid, Sassanid, and Parthian dynasties. This island fell into the hands of the Umayyad caliphs with the spread of Islam, and was later returned to Iran by an individual from all the Persian Gulf islands. During the Seljuk period, Kish became the largest commercial center of the Persian Gulf. In time, a delegation of American and Iranian advisers set out to visit the island. Kish tourism areas, which include the beautiful coral beaches, have made the island an international tourist center. The island’s economy is now based on tourism and commerce, with Kish hotels welcoming a large number of tourists every year.   The ancient city of Harireh is one of the most spectacular places in Kish on the north side of the island, with monuments of ancient architecture in the corner. From the ruins left behind, it is clear that this was once a thriving region. Hariri dates back to the eighth century and is said to have been mentioned in Saadi’s Golestan. Archaeologists, based on excavations, estimate that the city of Harireh was formed about a thousand years ago and was abandoned almost 600 years later.
