Khuzestan Province Essentials

Khuzestan Province is home to some of Iran's most significant historical sites, spanning from the Elamite Empire to the industrial age. The region features the UNESCO-listed Chogha Zanbil ziggurat and the Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System, a Sassanid-era engineering marvel. Travelers can explore the ancient city of Susa, the biblical Tomb of Daniel, and the birthplace of the Middle East's oil industry at Oil Well No. 1. The province also showcases Qajar-era architecture in Dezful and Izeh’s ancient Elamite rock reliefs at Eshkaft-e Salman.
