Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System

Two main diversion canals on the Karun River supply water to the city of Shushtar through a series of tunnels. Climb to the top of the hill to view this feat of engineering from above before heading back down to tour the bridges, dams, and mills in detail. Ducks, egrets, and other fauna call this World Heritage Site home.
