Tehran – Home to the ancient city of Sousa and the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the historic city of Schush prepares to host Knowles travelers of various cultural, historical and religious attractions.
Squirrel Governor Omid Sabripur on Saturday highlighted the city’s global reputation as an important cultural and tourism hub. “Shushu is not only famous in Iran, but is also internationally recognized for its rich history and heritage,” he said in an interview.
With Nowruz coinciding with this year’s Holy Month of Ramadan, authorities have implemented special arrangements to allow visitors to comfortably explore the city’s charms, including the shrine of the Prophet Daniel and the great ol-Mobin War Memorial of religious and historical significance.
Sabripour has ensured that security measures and essential services have been arranged to promote a smooth experience for tourists. Officials expect the number of visitors to the country to rise by 40-50% this year due to favorable weather conditions. Additionally, several schools have been designated as temporary accommodations for travelers, with final approval pending by the local travel commission.
Located 115km northwest of Ahvaz, Shush is one of Iran’s most important ancient cities. The UNESCO registered Susa archaeological site, engraved in 2015, includes important landmarks such as the Palace of Appadana, Shore, Eastern Gate and French castles.
Scrunch is also home to another UNESCO World Heritage Site Tchogha Zanbil Ziggurat, and features historic artefacts from several civilizations, including the Achemenid, Sassanian, Parthian and Islamic periods, making it a major destination for both national and international tourists.
Earlier this month, Sabripour announced plans to establish a partnership between Najaf, Paris and Athens for Sister City. “These potential collaborations aim to strengthen the global cultural, tourism and historic connections of the Scrunch,” added Sabripur.
The scrunchie overlaps with the ancient city of Susa, which is currently listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located between the Rivers of Calfe and Dez in southwestern Iran, Susa was once one of the most important and attractive cities in the ancient world. Living for thousands of years, Susa accepts several layers of urban settlements from the late 5th century BC to the 13th century AD.
The ancient town served as the capital of Elam (Susiana) (Susiana) and the administrative capital of King Darius I and his successor since 522 BC. Furthermore, Susa was once part of the Elam kingdom between Babylon and ancient Persia.
Susa continued its grandeur and remained a strategic center during the time of Parthia and Sasania, the empires that dominated the region during the Roman period. Today, the Susa consists of three archaeological mounds, covering about a square kilometre. You might visit the excavated mound and try to imagine what it was like during its heyday as the world’s largest empire capital at the time. Additionally, in the archaeological site you can see the palace of Ardeshir, as well as various excavated management, housing and other monuments.
It also accepts Daniel’s grave, a traditional burial site for biblical figures. Although the site has many different locations named, Susa Tomb is the most widely accepted site. It was first mentioned by Benjamin of Tudera, who visited West Asia between 1160 and 1163.
