The Fars Province of Iran, located in the south of the country, is a culturally and historically rich area with much to offer. The capital city of Shiraz is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iran due to its stunning mosques, gardens and other historical sites like Karim Khan Citadel, Vakil Mosque and Bazar. Visitors should also take some time to explore Pasargadae - an ancient capital city known for its UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Cyrus's Tomb.

The climate in Fars province varies from warm subtropical in the south near Bandar Abbas to cold mountain climates in the north near Shiraz. Some interesting natural sights include Persian Gulf beach-fronts and mountain peaks around Yazd.

Because Fars province has been inhabited since ancient times there are many interesting historical facts about it. One such fact is that Persepolis was once seen as one of the greatest cities during antiquity before it was destroyed by Alexander The Great in 330 BC.
