Shiraz - Persepolis - Naqsh-e Rostam (Necropolis) - Shiraz

Ancient world was the realm of great empires. Over 2500 years ago the Achaemenid Empire, also known as the first Persian empire ruled over a vast region spanning from the Eastern Asia to Eastern Europe. Mighty Achaemenid kings, Cyrus and Darius the Great, extended the borders of the empire and built glorious capital cities. Pasargadae was the seat of Cyrus the Great where he ruled for many years and was ultimately buried. Persepolis was the capital of Persians under Darius the Great. Before being destroyed by Alexander’s vengeful army, Persepolis was the most opulent city in the world. The remains that still stand proud near the city of Shiraz attest to the city’s former glory. The brief introduction above is enough to know why Persepolis tours are the most popular historic sights tours in Iran. Most of Persepolis tours are conducted from Shiraz due to the city’s proximity to the historic site. It is only an hour’s drive from Shiraz to Persepolis except for the rush hours in which the journey could take longer. Persepolis’ opening hours are from 8:00 am to 17:30 pm. To make the most of our time in the splendors of Persepolis, our tours start early in the morning. Our English-speaking Shiraz tour guide will pick you up early in the morning from your preferred address in Shiraz and you will head towards the site of the ancient city.

The site also boasts many stunning ancient rock reliefs depicting various kings of Achaemenid and later Elam and Sassanid dynasties.
