This water channel (Kariz also known as Qanat) has a 2,500-year history and once supplied islanders with drinking water. It is only one of the many underground water management systems unique to Iran. Today the Qanat, which is 16 meters below ground level, has become an amazing subterranean city that houses a theater, conference hall, restaurant, teashouse and souvenir shops as well as an art gallery and museum. The Kariz has 274 wells 74 of which are inside the underground city complex. It has an eight-meter-high ceiling covered with seashells, coral and fossils, which experts believe are as old as 270 to 570 million years.

کاریز به معنی قنات هست. یکی از بهترین جاهایی که در کیش وجود دارد. زحمت بسیار زیادی برای احیای کاریز کشیده شده. بسیار فضای زیبا و عجیبی هست. در کاریز حتی بقایای فسیل دو میلیون ساله وجود دارد.
باور کردنش سخته که در یک جزیره برای پیدا کردن آب انسان قادر به ساخت همچین سازه ای باشد. سالها و سالها زحمت کشیده شده تا این بنا ساخته شود و البته احیای مجدد به قصد جذب توریسم واقعا کار ستودنی هست.
