Bandar Lengeh

Also known as Lingeh

Bandar Lengeh is a port on the Iranian coast of the Persian Gulf, in Hormozgan province. In the 18th and 19th centuries it was ruled by a branch of the Al Qasimi and thrived on pearling and entrepot trade. After Persia took direct control in 1887 and imposed new customs duties from 1902, many of its merchants moved to Dubai.
