Shidvar Island

Shidvar Island (Persian: جزیرهٔ شیدوَر) is an uninhabited island in the Persian Gulf east of the larger inhabited island of Lavan. Administratively, the island forms part of the Lavan Rural District in Kish District, Bandar Lengeh County, Hormozgan Province, Iran. It is part of a natural reserve called the Shidvar Wildlife Refuge.

The name shetor or shotor in Persian means camel.

Though the island is uninhabited, there are ruins of a stone building near the island's southeastern corner, which suggests humans may have lived there once.

The island was designated a Ramsar site in 1999.

The island has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports breeding Socotra cormorants as well as colonies of bridled and white-cheeked terns. It is also a breeding site for green and hawksbill sea turtles.
