Since the historical sites, the natural destination, and the cultural events are spread over the province, we dedicate this page as a unifying travel guide to Susa, Shushtar and some other attractions in Khuzestan.
Susa which is called Shush in Farsi language is the capital of the Elamite civilization and the winter capital of the Achaemenes Empire. The highlight of Susa tourism is the Choghazanbil Ziggurat. A temple date back to 1250 BC, built by Untash-Napirisha, the king of kings and to worship God, Inshushinak. Chogha Zanbil was one of the first UNESCO World heritage sites inside Iran.
Not only the Choghazanbil Ziggurat but also, the Arcorpol hill, Hafttapeh, Apadana Palace and Susa castle (also famous for French castle) are other historical destinations in Shush city.
Within about 1 hour drive, Shushtar city is located in a short distance from Susa.
The main attraction in Shushtar is a historical hydraulic system, which is a remaining masterpiece from the Sassanid Empire. This irritation system is also a UNESCO world heritage site from 2009 and it worth it to visit.
Watermills in Dezful, Salasel castle, Pamenar village, and Zaras tourist village are other top things to visits in Khuzestan province.
