Persepolis is one of the best preserved ancient Near Eastern sites that you can visit. It is an easy drive from Shiraz and taxis or tours will take you there. Early morning or late afternoon are the best times to visit to avoid the heat and the crowds. Be sure to have a good guide book or hire a knowledgeable guide. It will make the experience much better and Iran has great guides like Seyed Ali Mohammad Hosseini of Uppersia tours in Shiraz who studied under the late Dr. A. Shapur Shahbazi of the University of Shiraz who was responsible for the archaeology at Persepolis until his death.
