Hormuz
Skip Hormuz: conflict risk high after Feb 2026 attacks; if you must, limit to a day visit from Bandar Abbas.
Hormuz is a tiny town of ~6 000 on Hormuz Island, known for historic forts and beaches. Travel is possible via a short ship ride from Bandar Abbas, but the island is in a conflict‑zone hotspot since early 2026, making longer stays unsafe.
