Human mosaics and archeology
Like the northwest of Iran, the Iranian southwest, barred by the Zagros mountain range, is a mosaic of stories: a multitude of ethnic groups, cultures and languages (Kurds, Bakhtyaris, Lors, Arabs, etc.) and a lesser diversity of landscapes and climates can be found in this part of the country. The historical heritage is also varied, spanning millennia: from Elamite bas-reliefs cut into the rocks (2nd millennium), to traditional houses from the 19th century, including sites dating back to the Parthians and Sassanids. The proposed itinerary combines famous sites (Hamadan, Kermanshah) with less frequented regions (Kurdistan, Khorramabad, Izeh), while allowing a more in-depth visit to cities with hidden treasures (Shushtar, Dezful).
