Russian traders founded the port of Bandar-e Anzali at the end of the 19th century, after the Qadjar dynasty obtained fishing concessions. On the economic level, agri-food (tea and tobacco cultivation) and fishing (caviar production) represent the main economic activities. However, the purchase of the precious sturgeon remains highly regulated and complex.On the natural side, protected swamps now extend over 450 km² around the city, sheltering a rich bird life. Possibility on the port to rent a boat and the services of a local guide to learn about the joys of bird watching. A stroll by the sea or in the bazaar, particularly lively on Saturdays, can also do the trick.
