Iran: Center of the Persian Empire

The area that is Iran today is home to one of the oldest human civilizations and was the center of the Persian Empire, officially the Achaemenid Persian Empire. Any visitor can see remnants of this incredible period in Iran's past. Iran’s culture is deeply intertwined with its long and rich history, especially from the Persian Empire. Art, literature, architecture, and music have deep roots which are still visible today. Thanks to Leila for going with our Australian guests to Persepolis and helped them to being exposed to Persian culture, people, history, lifestyle and hospitality.
