Residents in southern Iran believe that the Valley of Stars on Qeshm Island has been named after a falling star centuries ago.

The Valley of Stars is not simply a location; it is a rare geological phenomenon. Located to the north of Berkeh-ye Khalaf village, the Valley of Stars is five km away from the southern edge of Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf.

Locals believe the valley has been named after the falling of a star centuries ago.

Tasnim News Agency has released a series of pictures of the beautiful valley in the Persian Gulf. Take a look:
