Jashak salt dome

Jashak is a salt dome located in Dashti County in southwestern Iran. This geological formation rises from the surrounding landscape and displays layered structures typical of salt mountains in the region.

This salt dome formed through ancient geological processes that also created similar formations throughout southern Iran. The structure developed as mineral-rich layers accumulated and shifted over geological time.

The salt dome functions as a mineral resource for local communities in Bushehr Province, situated between the districts of Bardkhun and Kaki.

The site can be reached by road through the Bushehr and Kangan route. Visitors should come prepared for the hilly terrain and outdoor conditions in the area.

The surface displays multicolored layers in shades of orange, yellow, red, and gray that hint at different mineral compositions within the rock. These varied colors make the salt formation visually striking when viewed from a distance.
