Qeshm geopark in the Middle-East registered by the global network of geopark in 2006.At present only 17 countries have registered geopark, and due to Qeshm geopark, Iran is among these 17 countries. Obviously, Qeshm geopark is of higher importance due to its strategic location in the Persian Gulf. On the other hand Qeshm geopark has got a proper position in the region and in other geopark as it is located between eastern Asian and European geopark. Due to its variety of geological phenomena and variety of its sites, Qeshm geopark has better position in comparison with other geopark. Of course this variety is not limited to geological phenomena.
