Located on Qeshm Island in southern Iran, Soheili is a coastal village nestled within Hormozgan Province and the Qeshm UNESCO Global Geopark. Its name is rooted in a local myth of Bohil and Soheil a tale of love and loss that gave rise to the Soheil star (Canopus), guiding fishermen through the night. This poetic story continues to draw visitors, as villagers share it while pointing to the night sky. Soheili is also home to the Khorkhoran Wetland and the Mangrove Forest Biosphere Reserve, both Ramsar-designated sites. To protect these fragile ecosystems, villagers transitioned to low-noise floats for tourism in 2018 and created a local movement to raise mangrove seedlings at home. Soheili now thrives as a model of sustainable wetland tourism, with birdwatching platforms, floating lodges, and a vibrant handicrafts market. Here, culture, myth, nature, and sustainability converge, offering visitors a profound and responsible tourism experience that empowers the local community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The people of Soheili have built their lives in harmony with the Khorkhoran Wetland and the Mangrove Biosphere Reserve. Since 2018, they have led a grassroots movement to protect these ecosystems by restoring traditional wooden boats, introducing quiet floating pavilions, and creating eco-friendly transport networks that avoid damaging mangrove roots. In September, women and children collect mangrove seeds, raise them in recycled containers at home, and replant them in December ensuring the next generation of trees thrives. This community-based restoration initiative enhances both environmental sustainability and economic resilience. Tourism tied to the biosphere generates income, while preserving the delicate balance of this protected area. Visitors are not just spectators they become witnesses to a living conservation culture. By blending heritage with stewardship, Soheili proves that rural communities can lead the way in safeguarding global ecosystems through innovation, tradition, and a deep respect for nature\u2019s rhythms.

Soheili\u2019s transformation into a wetland tourism hub has created meaningful employment opportunities for its residents and those from neighboring villages. With access to the Persian Gulf and the Khorkhoran Wetland, villagers have developed a wide range of tourism services that celebrate and protect their natural heritage. A network of 30 boats and low-noise floats now offers eco-friendly tours through mangrove forests. Traditional wooden boats are showcased in races and heritage festivals, blending culture with entertainment. A birdwatching site and two floating accommodations attract nature lovers, while a 20-store handicraft market supports local artisans. These initiatives combine to generate inclusive economic benefits across the region. Soheili\u2019s tourism model empowers communities, preserves local traditions, and ensures that the environment remains at the heart of every visitor\u2019s experience. By aligning conservation with livelihoods, Soheili demonstrates how rural villages can grow through sustainable tourism that values people, culture, and nature equally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
