History
Bandar Ganaveh is the place where the Persian warlord, and founder of the Qarmatian State Abu Sa'id al-Jannabi originated from. Ganaveh was historically famous for its pearl fishing and tiraz production, but it seems to have already been in decline by the 10th century. The reason may have been because of the Qarmatian wars, or perhaps because of the lack of water supplies. It had been the port of Bishapur and then Kazerun.
