The historical complex of Pasargadae includes the tomb of Cyrus, Achaemenid palaces, gardens around it and works from the Islamic era, which are among the most important tourist attractions of Shiraz. Every year, many tourists from inside Iran and abroad go to Shiraz to visit this huge historical work.
The Pasargadae collection in Shiraz is one of the works left over from the Achaemenid period. It is located in Pasargadae city of Fars province and in Morghab plain. This place is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Legendary City of Persepolis, the former capital of Darius the Great which was founded in 512 BC. There was no more impressive construction in the ancient world than Persepolis.
The Necropolis where Darius and his successors are buried. Carved into the side of a cliff, the site is extraordinary in its magnitude and sheer ambition and does not disappoint even after the impressive Persepolis.
Early morning starting from Shiraz, first we will drive to Pasargadae, the Tomb of Cyrus the Great and former capital of the Achaemenid Empire. We will spend some time exploring the site.
After that, we will drive to the direction of Persepolis, the former capital of Darius the Great which was founded in 512 BC. Though a shadow of its former self, the soaring pillars, terraces and sculptures of Persepolis still remain, but probably most impressive are the bas reliefs which line the site, telling the story of ancient governors and kings that came to Persepolis to pay tribute to the Persian Emperors.
We will have our lunch at a traditional local restaurant and taste local Shirazi foods
Finally, we will drive a couple of miles to Naqsh-e-Rustam, the Necropolis where Darius and his successors are buried. After that, we will back to Shiraz.
