The main attraction of any trip to Shushtar
has to be the UNESCO listed Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System. Shushtar,
Historical Hydraulic System, inscribed as a masterpiece of creative genius, can
be traced back to Darius the Great in the 5th century B.C. It involved the
creation of two main diversion canals on the river Karoon one of which, Gargar
canal, is still in use providing water to the city of Shushtar via a series of
tunnels that supply water to mills. Shushtar today would be one of the
most-visited tourist destinations in Iran but somehow its culture, archaeology
and local life have yet to be discovered by foreign travelers. Thanks to the
local tour guide of Uppersia team, Reza, in Shustar for taking and sharing a
photo of this picturesque place.
