About
About Bushehr
Bushehr is a port city in the Central District of Bushehr County, Bushehr province, Iran. It is the capital of the province, the county and the district.
Bushehr was the main trade center of Iran in the past centuries. The city structures are traditional in style, modest in proportion and cost. Due to its lack of rail connection to the interior of the country and its shallow anchorage, it has lost its position as the primary port of Iran.
