Persepolis (Iran) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Persepolis in Iran.
Persepolis, City Of The Persians, is located within a fertile plain surrounded by mountains in what is today the Iranian province of Fars. The ruins of the former residence of the Achaemenid Empire are one of the greatest and most impressive palace complexes in the world, with mighty gateways, extensive barracks, reception and audience halls, as well as royal palaces. It is the most important architectural legacy of the first Persian Empire which had its heyday between the sixth and fourth centuries B.C. Dareios The Great began construction of his ceremonial capital city shortly after he had attained power as Third Emperor of Persia. Although he already had two capital cities, Pasargadae and Susa, he wanted to present to the world a third impressive city. For fifty eight years, Ionic stonemasons, Babylonian brick makers, Median and Egyptian goldsmiths, worked in Persepolis and created what was an indelible symbol of the Achaemenid Empire. Today, cleared of rubble and sand, its former glory can be imagined in full: Persepolis the magnificent!

Iran's Top 10 Experiences according to Lonely Planet
Iran's Top 10 Experiences according to Lonely Planet
10. Desert Homestays
The welcome is rarely warmer than in the vast, empty silence of Iran's great deserts. Garmeh is the oasis village of your dreams, with a crumbling castle, swaying date palms and the sound of spring water. It's the sort of place you come for one night and stay four.
9. Skiing the Alborz Mountains
Alborz is a mountain range in northern Iran stretching from the borders of Azerbaijan and Armenia in the northwest to the southern end of the Caspian Sea, and ending in the east at the borders of Turkmenistan and Afghanistan. Due to its great snowy winters there are several ski resorts, some consider that a few of these are among the best in the world.
8. Choqa Zanbil
Chogha Zanbil is an ancient Elamite complex in the Khuzestan province of Iran. Chogha in Bakhtiari means hill. It is one of the few existent ziggurats outside of Mesopotamia. It lies approximately 42 km (26 mi) south-southwest of Dezfoul, 30 km (19 mi) west of Susa and 80 km (50 mi) north of Ahvaz.
7. The Islamic Republic
Iran is an Islamic Republic and while most travellers find Islam is not nearly as all-pervasive as they had expected, the Shiite faith remains an important part of Iranian life. It is at its most obvious in the passionate devotion seen at monuments such as the huge Haram-e Razavi in Mashhad.
6. Nomads of the Zagros
The Zagros Mountains form the largest mountain range in Iran and Iraq. This mountain range has a total length of 1,500 km. The Zagros mountain range begins in northwestern Iran and roughly corresponds to Iran's western border, and it spans the whole length of the western and southwestern Iranian plateau, ending at the Strait of Hormuz.
5. Ancient Persepolis
The centre of the great Persian Empire, ceremonial capital of the Achaemenians and the showpiece of Achaemenian art, Persepolis is a historic site in Fars Province, 60 km to the northeast of Shiraz. This magnificent court was the summer residence of the Achaemenian emperors and their official reception quarters.
4. More than Kabab
Chelo kabab is the national dish of Iran. The meal is simple, consisting of steamed, saffroned basmati or Persian rice and kabab, of which there are several distinct Persian varieties. This dish is served throughout Iran today, but was traditionally associated with the northern part of the country.
3. Yazd
Yazd is the capital of Yazd Province, and a centre of Zoroastrian culture. Because of generations of adaptations to its desert surroundings, Yazd is an architecturally unique city. It is also known in Iran for the high quality of its handicrafts, especially silk weaving, and its confectionary.
2. Esfahan, Half of the World
Located south of Tehran, it is considered by the locals to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. An ancient town and capital of Persia from 1598 to 1722, it was long noted for its fine carpets and silver filigree. Today textile and steel mills take over their place. Its architecture, tree-lined boulevards and relaxed pace make it one of the highlights of Iran's cities.
1. Meet the People
From watching the TV you could be forgiven for thinking Iranians are scary, America-hating fundamentalists bent on destroying the world. Nothing could be further from the truth. Indeed, it's the people that leave the most lasting impressions from any journey to Iran. You will regularly be asked 'What do you think of Iran?', and be bought tea and food with intonations that 'You are our guest'. The people are, quite simply, the best experience in Iran.

Exploring a 2000 year old UNESCO site in IRAN
Shushtar is a city in the Khuzestan province in the southwest of Iran.
Shushtar owes much of its fame to the historical hydraulic system. In 2009, this system was registered in UNESCO’s list as a tangible cultural heritage site. The hydraulic dam was built by the Iranians and Romans 1738 years ago and is a masterpiece of creative genius.
Not too many foreign tourists make it out to this site, which gave us all the more reason to go there and check it out. Definitely one of the most unique places to visit in Iran.
