👉 Abarque is a type of boat used primarily in Iran, particularly in the Persian Gulf region, for transporting cargo and personnel between different ports or islands. It was originally created by the Persians as a means to transport goods across the Strait of Hormuz, which separates the Persian Gulf from the Arabian Sea, but it has since evolved into a versatile vessel that can be used for various purposes, including transporting oil, fish, and other goods.
