Bushehr, Port city in Central District of Bushehr Province, Iran
Located at an elevation of 8 meters on the Persian Gulf coast, Bushehr extends across two districts with three urban centers and two rural territories.
The city transformed from a minor fishing settlement into a naval headquarters in 1734 when Nader Shah established it as the base for the Persian Gulf fleet.
The population communicates in multiple languages, with Bushehri dialect representing 25 percent of local speech, followed by Tehrani Persian and Arabic variations.
The industrial sector of Bushehr encompasses petrochemical facilities, a nuclear power plant, traditional pottery production, and substantial fishing operations.
Water in the local wells contains high salt levels, creating difficulties for residents who face extreme temperatures during summer months.
