Khuzestan
Khuzestan has some of the oldest sites in Iran, and most of them lie within a short drive of each other. Susa and its French-built castle stand beside the Tomb of Daniel with its ribbed conical roof. Haft Tappeh is nearby, and in Dezful an old bridge still crosses the river.
These articles also cover Andimeshk and the 1880s excavations of Jane and Marcel Dieulafoy. Our Khuzestan travel guide covers the province as a whole.
