A turn off the main Hormuz Island road down a dirt path toward the interior and you’ll find yourself on a short trek to a mountain of petrified salt creating colorful, shining towers and interesting formations. Because of the breathtaking nature of Hormuz’s Salt Mountain and because it’s typically one of the first wonders of Hormuz Island that most visitors reach after arrival, the area is nicknamed Silence Valley with the mountain being called the Salt Goddess- as you will see the valley is usually found completely quiet as people visiting are left nearly speechless.
