About Shiraz

Supposed to be a sophisticated city, known for its poetry and wine. Too bad, no alcohol is allowed. Shiraz is a compulsory stop anyway for Persepolis and the city itself

User's opinion
This pic could remind you Petra, but it's Perspolis and there isn't any rift to follow. However the area is stilll amazing and embodies the ancient achaemenid empire and the Persian glory

User's opinion
Again. Shiraz has a very nice bazaar where you can find good carperts (like in Tabriz or Esfahan)
