Day 1 - Unfolding the Urban Charm

Beginning our adventure in Ahvāz, let's kick things off with the b>Falafel Street, where you're set to savour some authentic Iranian street food. Who could resist those crispy, golden falafel balls, right? We'll then make our way to White Bridge, one of Ahvāz's iconic landmarks. Walk along this historic bridge and feel the gentle breeze pats your cheeks. Doesn't it feel like the city is whispering its story? In the afternoon, visit the Moein al-Tojar Caravanserai. Here's a little history lesson for you, this building is from the Qajar era. Can you imagine the ancient caravans passing through here centuries ago? To wrap up our first day, why not enjoy an idyllic sunset cruise along Karun River? It'll surely be a magical ending to an exhilarating day.

Day 2 - Exploring the Historic Havens

Fuel your morning with a hearty breakfast because we have a big day ahead! First stop is Shush, the ancient city where history enthusiasts would enjoy. It's only about an hour's drive, but trust me, it's like stepping into a time machine! Explore the Ziggurat of Chogha Zanbil, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's kind of like the pyramids of Egypt, but with a fun Persian twist! Post-lunch, we'll head to the Haft Tepe Museum, home to fascinating archaeological treasures. When was the last time you got up-close with artifacts dating back to 1500 BC? As the day winds down, we'll return to Ahvāz for a delightful dinner. Dive into a plate of Ghormeh Sabzi, don't you love the way the rich flavours of this classic Iranian stew dance on your palate?

Day 3 - Submerging in Nature's Lap

On our final day, we'll delve into the soul-soothing essence of nature. Let's first visit the Shevi Waterfall. Listen to the music the cascading water makes; it's the perfect symphony, isn't it? After a satisfying local lunch, we'll head to Cham Mishan Lake. The sights of vast reeds where migratory birds find their haven is something to behold. Am I the only one or it's like catching a glimpse of paradise? As evening approaches, let's treat ourselves to a well-deserved group dinner. And as they say in Iran, Noosh-e Jan or Bon Appétit!
