Izehایذه
Half a day for the Elamite rock reliefs, then onward: Izeh is a detour, not a base. One night if you arrive late.
Izeh is a small Bakhtiari city in the Zagros foothills, known for ancient Elamite rock reliefs at Kul-e Farah and Eshkaft-e Salman. The sights are scattered in the countryside; the city itself is compact and agricultural. Most travellers stop for a few hours on a route through Khuzestan.
