Social life in Kish Island is not exactly what you expect to find in Iran. Relax and friendly, stress-free
society is what differentiates Kish from mainland Iran.

On the contrary to Iranians on the mainland, Kish Islanders do not speak of politics  that much .  They
enjoy life and make money. "Open for Business". That is the logo of Kish island. The right Iranian Free
Zone to do business, live and make money.
Most foreigners who visit the island are surprised to find another side of Iran. Although there are no bars, clubs or
discos in Kish, night life goes on joyfully till early morning. Live music, beach gatherings and other healthy
entertainments, such as night-scuba diving, tennis, carting, bicycling and other joyful events fill out the social night
life of the islanders.

Kish Southern shores
Like other parts of Iran, alcoholic beverages are forbidden on the Island. Women have to cover themselves in Islamic
veils and respect of Islamic laws prevails. After all, 90% of the Iranian population is Muslim
.
All together, social life in Kish island is a very pleasant experience many Iranian and
foreign nationals are learning to enjoy. And since Kish is an off-shore, tax-free island,
demand for property and investment permit is sharply on the rise.
There are more women visiting the island than
men. This may be due to the more relax and free
atmosphere women enjoy on the island.

Iranian movie stars and artists are also
choosing the island for their long vacations.

Therefore, the social life of the island is
becoming the talking sensation of Tehran and
other Iranian major cities. Foreigners living and
working in Dubai are also complimenting the
stress- free social life of kish, during their trips to
the island.

places Kish Island has to offer.
