# Hormuz

Hormuz or Hormoz (Persian: هرمز,) is a town on Hormuz Island, off the Southwest coast of Iran.
Hormuz was a fairly important city in medieval times, such as when Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta visited it, but today is only a town of about 6,000.

## Understand

Hormuz is located on the Straits of Hormuz, the narrows at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. The Straits have been mentioned fairly often in news in the late 20th and early 21st centuries because of their strategic importance. They are the best place to control traffic in or out of the Gulf; if someone wanted to cut off seaborne shipments of something — Gulf oil going out, arms coming to Iran, or supplies to US forces in Iraq — this is where they would do it.
In medieval times, Hormuz was the capital of its province and the province is still called Hormozgān, though the city of Bandar Abbas is now the capital. To escape Mongol attacks, one ruler shifted the capital to nearby Hormuz Island and built a town there called New Hormuz, but he soon made peace with the Mongols and moved the capital back.

## Get in

Travelers to Hormuz island can reach it on large modern ships from Bandar Abass. It takes about half an hour.

## Get around

You can hire a tuk-tuk with driver from just outside the port, or else rent a bike from a dome-shaped building near the port gates.

## See

Hormuz is considered as a "must see" island. You can drive around the circumference of Hormuz in one hour, and there are many sights to see.

# Ruwais

Ruwais is a small town developing into a city in the western part of the emirate of Abu Dhabi, about 240 km west of the city of Abu Dhabi.

## Understand

The area of Ruwais was once a small fishing headland from which a handful of people scratched a seasonal living. In the 1970s, plans were laid to transform a remote desert site into a self-contained industrial town, geared to fulfilling the requirements of Abu Dhabi's booming oil and gas industry. Centred around Takreer's Ruwais Refinery, the complex was officially inaugurated in 1982 by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the late President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, and the visionary behind Abu Dhabi's remarkable development and prosperity. Ruwais today is one of the most modern industrial complexes in the Middle East.

## Get in
### By road

The two-laned highway, E11, which starts from Sila and extends to Abu Dhabi is the only way to enter or exit Ruwais by road.

### By plane

There is a small airstrip about 10 km away, but it is small and only small private aircraft such a Cessna 172 or a Beechcraft Baron can land there. There are also some helipads, but they are used only by the police and the hospitals, so unless you have a private plane, you will need to fly to Abu Dhabi or Dubai.

## Get around

Getting around is pretty easy and safe; the people tend to help and accompany each other.

### By shuttle bus

Taxi services are available everywhere and shuttle buses are also available.(First, they were available for public, now only for hospital and Adnoc staff)

### By bicycle

People often prefer to use bicycles for short trips. Bicycle upgrades are also possible in sports shops.

### By foot

You can see people walking throughout the day. Walking and jogging is also a popular sporting activity here.

## See

There is not much to be seen in Ruwais but one fascinating view is of the sunset from the 3 Blue Tankers and the view of the industries; but be careful not to snap any pics of the industrial complex as if they are found by authorities, the devices you used to take them may be confiscated by security.

## Do

In Ruwais, there is a recreation centre which has a swimming pool, table tennis court, badminton hall, squash courts, tennis grounds and a gym. There is also a men's health club and a women's health club which are both under commission. There is a Go-Kart course, skating and cycling course under construction.

# Mandalgovĭ

Mandalgovĭ is the capital of Dundgovĭ province.

## Understand

This small dusty town in the middle of the Gobi Desert today serves a convenient stopping place to the huge mines further south and as reasonably close place to the capital to experience the Gobi. However, at one time the winter palace of Ögedei Khan, Genghis Khan's son, was located near the city, as well as the ruins of Sum Khuh Burd temple from the 10th century and ancient forts, tombs, and monasteries. Also outside of the city, there are large wild game animals such as ibex, Argali sheep, black-tail gazelles, and antelope.

## Get in

There are 2 buses a day that leave from the Dragon Center in Ulaanbaatar to Mandalgovĭ, at 8am and 2pm. The ride took about 6 hours before a paved road was completed in 2013. Probably much faster now. Tickets should be purchased a day in advance. Or you could get there much faster by hiring a driver to take you.
