Overview
Bandar-e Gaz is in the southeastern fringes of Gorgan Bay (:ru:Горганский залив), at a distance of 20 km south of Bandar Torkaman and 48 km from Gorgan.
Before the establishment of Bandar Torkaman, this port was the most important commercial port in west of Mazandaran, Semnan and Khorasan. Bandar-e Gaz became an industrial center due to its location on the commercial highway in northwest Iran. The oil-extraction, rice-grinding and cotton-purifying factories were established in this city. The coastal areas of the city include wetlands, groves and wildlife.
