Tourism
In the past this city was equipped with three big jetties and was used by the Allied Forces during the World War II for transportation of equipment. However, the two jetties have sunk and presently, due to poor equipment and the gradual decline of water, Bandar Turkman which possesses only one jetty, is not bustling and is mostly used to communicate with Ashouradeh Island. During Norouz (New Iranian Year) and summers, this jetty is full of seasonal merchants who bring beautiful Turkman fabricated objects to the city for sale. Ashouradeh Island is a main attraction in the region.
