Kish Island

Western Embargoes

Keep in mind that Kish Island is an integral part of Iran and many western nations have embargoes on Iranian goods. Exceptions exist for certain things, but most of what you'll find in the malls here will be subject to confiscation if discovered on your return home.

Kish is a trade free zone, making it the perfect place for profitable shopping and trading. The price of goods in Kish are notably cheaper than in mainland Iran. Many Iranians and tourists visit Kish to purchase duty free clothes, electronic goods, cosmetics, etc. There are a number of large shopping centres, most of them situated in the eastern part of the island. Due to the daytime heat, most shops are closed from 13.00 till around 17.30. Some stay open until late into the night. The shopping malls in Kish cater to every taste. However, be prepared to find numerous faux American and European brands such as Gucci, Prada, Diesel, The Gap, Ikea, and Starbucks. Very few merchandise is authentic. One exception is the 'Ikea' store, which is known for importing real Ikea merchandise such as ice-cube trays and dishes.
