Kish Island has a surface area of 90 square kilometers, with an outer boundary of 40kms and a nearly elliptical shape. It is located in the Persian Gulf. The Island is situated along the 1359km long Iranian seashore north of the Persian Gulf, at the first quarter from the hormuz entrance to the Gulf.

The Island is 15.45kms from west coast to the east coast. Its maximum width extending from the southern shorelines to the northern shorelines is 7.5kms.The Island’s facade is flat, lacking mountains or even high hills. Kish International Airport is built in the center on an elevated area 3540 meters from the sea level.

 Kish must have experienced periods of hardship ruination during the natural tribulation of its long history it must have been invaded often and rule by alien forces. But Kish Island in the Persian Gulf has remained, like other island such as Qeshm and Hormuz is an integral part of the safety reasons, Kish was frequently used as a port of call by the ancient mariners who got drinking water and other necessities from the islanders Kish island's strategic position served as a way station and link for the ancient Assyrian and Elamite civilization when their primitive sailboats navigated from Susa through Karoun river into the Persian Gulf and along the southern coastline passing kish, Qeshm and Hormoz islands.

 Choosing this part of the island to build a city was a most natural and logical choice. Its high cliffs are over ten meters above sea level, with three capes acting as natural harbors, and a shore relatively calmer than other coastline salong the island, all in all helping to shape the city in its northern coast.  Three separate archaeological digs have been carried out in the remains of the ancient city of Harireh.
