Khormūj

Khormoj lies in the Dashti country inland from the Persian Gulf, north of the mouth of the Mand River. It stands between the hot coastal plain and the mountains of Fars, in a district where fields and date palms grow amid dry hills. Medieval geographical works mention a place called Khurmuk in this region, though its exact identification has been debated. The town later became known for its scholars and poets, as well as for its position in the country between Bushehr and the southern coast.
