Spectacular rocks in Chah Kuh valley

The valley in Shahab , a district in Qeshm, is among tourist attractions in the province of Hormozgan , south of Iran. It’s located 100 km from Qeshm and near the village of Chahuy-e Sharghi.
With exceptional structures covered in holes, bowl-like shapes and hollow cavities, the valley along with its streams flowing on rocks and wells of water was formed as a result of heavy winds, downpours and hot sunlight.
It is called Chah Kuh since it’s located near the village of Chahu. Where the valley starts , there are roads, as well as low-depth wells and canals for directing water, built by the villagers, which make the place even more fascinating. Since it’s hot and dry it is highly valuable to store freshwater and the wells are like reservoirs for rain.
The old wells and canals have long been used to supply the villagers with freshwater. Four narrow paths from four directions meet in some areas where the distance between two walls is about half a meter.
It seems that the valley and similar valleys nearby relate to a fracture of a large anticline that contributed to the creation of the salt dome of Namakdan.
The sedimentary rocks in the valley include limestones and relate to the Zagros Mountains. They are one of the three groups of stones in nature: sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic.
Water erosion and dissolution have created deep and long slots and holes in lentil, spoon and spherical shapes. The grooves and parallel erosion lines , hollow cavities and holes as well as the streams flowing on the rocks inside the valley have made it a spectacular wonder.
The beautiful dreamy shapes and patterns on the walls like valuable works of art by a capable artist would sweep away every visitor.
