Bandar Sirik ( Persian: بندر سيريك) [a] is a city in the Central District of Sirik County, Hormozgan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district. [4] It is also the administrative center for Sirik Rural District. [5]
At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 3,640 in 640 households, when it was in the former Byaban District of Minab County. [6] The following census in 2011 counted 4,140 people in 920 households, [7] by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Sirik County. Sirik was transferred to the new Central District. [4] The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 5,137 people in 1,182 households. [2]
Bandar Sirik overlooks the Strait of Hormuz and contains a small harbour to the northwest of the main settlement. The Minab River empties into the sea near Sirik, and a mangrove estuary is located here. [8] [9] To the northwest along the coast to Bandar-e-Abbas, there are thousands of hidden caves and valleys dotted around the horn of the Strait of Hormuz. [10] [11] [12]
