Continued from: Isfahan
On route 65 we went from Isfahan over Abadeh to Shiraz. The first station we stopped was Pasagardae where you can find the tomb of Cyrus the Great.
In Naqsh-e Rustam we found four giant tombs of Achaemenid kings which are carved into the rocks. These tombs were near to Persepolis, another highlight of our Iran trip. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is very impressive and gigantic.
We were all buried from all the details you can discover on this huge area. But the current government wanted to blow up the whole system some years ago. They had brought the explosive already on-site but were prevented by the inhabitants of Shiraz - thank God.
Late in the evening we reached our hotel in Shiraz. I wanted to go into the internet but it was already closed.
