Ahvaz

The Karun River runs straight through Ahvaz, and most evenings the riverbanks fill up once the heat breaks. Our articles here start with the bridges, including the old Black Bridge, then head out to Shadegan Wetland and the ancient sites around Shush: Susa, Haft Tappeh and the Tomb of Daniel.

There is also a short list of hotels.

If this is your first time in Khuzestan, read our Ahvaz travel guide before planning the day trips.
