In the 13th episode of Paths Less Traveled - Iran, I’m visiting a bucket list destination and top sight in Iran - Persepolis (تخت جمشید). The ancient city was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire dating back to 518 BC, and a symbol of power at the peak of the Persian empire.
I’ll discover some of the incredible history, before heading north to the necropolis - Naqsh-e Rostam (نقش رستم), where the grand tombs of the Achaemenid Kings are built into the cliff face.
Stopping for lunch there’ll be and insanely big Iranian feast of stuffed chicken - Morgh Shekam Por, along with an indecent amount of sides (Alook, Dopiaze, Dampokht, Doogh and Dates Halva - and that’s just the ones I included on this video!). The hospitality was incredible, the food was delicious and it never stopped coming!
With a full stomach, we’ll visit the Tomb of Cyrus the Great (آرامگاه کوروش بزرگ) - The first of the Achaemenid Kings, and that’ll be the end of the day as I won’t bore you with the long long journey onwards to Isfahan.
Less sights overall in this video, but Persepolis is certainly a heavy hitter and deserves the time.
Come with me for an adventure of history and food!

PATHS LESS TRAVELED
In the late summer of 2022 I embarked on an epic road trip around Iran, during a time of unrest as protests escalated across the country.
Covering around 6200km over 24 days, I was able to see this incredible country in a way that many are not fortunate enough to see, and to record my experiences in a way that has not been done before.
Safety concerns meant that I had to limit my filming on occasion, and stay well away from any signs of the troubles going on.
However, what I did see was an incredible insight. Some of the most wonderful and welcoming people, incredible history and culture, and mind blowing food.
Paths Less Traveled - Iran is my story of my experiences, put in an in-depth series of Iran travel vlogs.
