Kermanshah

3 Days 

Kermanshah is the ninth most populous city of Iran and the capital city of Kermanshah province which is located in the western part of the country. This city has a moderate and mountainous climate. In summer it becomes very warm especially in July and August, and in winter it becomes very cool especially in December and January. 

Since Kermanshah is located in the Zagros mountainous region and it had many caves and shelters, it was considered by the people of the Stone Age. So Kermanshah is a very rich and important city of Iran and the western part of Asia in terms of having the remains of places of resistance related to prehistory time. Some of those remains are related to 200 years ago and the first village of the Middle East was established in this city during the Neolithic era.
