Firouzabad
See Qal'eh Dokhtar and the Palace of Ardashir in a half‑day; stay one night if you need a base before returning to Shiraz.
Firouzabad is a small town in Fars province, best known for two Sassanid-era monuments that can be visited in a few hours. One night is enough unless you prefer a relaxed pace or need to catch a later bus back to Shiraz.
