The Persian Empire And Alexander

September 17 – October 7, 2016 Tour leader: Dr John Tidmarsh Iran The Persian empire and Alexander

Overview

Join us as we travel through the strikingly picturesque and dramatic landscapes of Iran and trace the footsteps of Alexander the Great through the heartland of the vast Persian empire.

Starting in Tehran we enter the world of the formidable Persian Empire destroyed by Alexander. We follow (but in reverse) Alexander’s path along the northern edge of the formidable Dasht-i Kavir salt desert (later to become one of the main branches of the Silk Route) as the Macedonian king desperately (and ultimately, in vain) pursued the defeated Darius and his kinsman Bessus.

We visit the great palaces of and , the Achaemenid royal burial ground of Naqsh-i Rustam, and Hamadan; ancient Ecbatana where Alexander arranged for the execution of his old general Parmenio and mourned his closest companion, Hephaisteion. We also explore the beautiful city of , capital of the great Sassanian king Shapur I who attempted to emulate the conquests of his Achaemenid forebears. Then on to , Pearl of Islam among whose earliest inhabitants were those Jews from Babylon freed by Cyrus the Great. We have ample time to wander through and explore some of the finest and most picturesque cities in the Islamic world such as the fabled , home to the tomb of the eighth Shiite Imam, (“City of Nightingales and Roses”) and, above all, Isfahan.

The tour is enhanced by a series of talks and lectures by John Tidmarsh on Alexander’s campaigns, the mighty Persian Empire which he destroyed, and the opulent Hellenistic kingdoms which arose after his death.

monday 19 September TO MAshhad We transfer to the airport this morning for our flight to Mashhad. Mashhad lies on the ancient silk route and is the second most populous city in Iran. For centuries Mashhad derived its wealth both from its favourable position on the east-west caravan routes between India and Iran and those running north-south between Central Asia and the Persian Gulf, and from the agricultural produce from the fertile valleys surrounding the city. Now of course its wealth has increased as a result of the millions of pilgrims who flock to the city annually. On arrival we have a brief orientation tour of the city before checking into our hotel. Dinner is in the hotel this evening. Overnight Mashhad (B, L, D)

Tuesday 20 September MAshhad & Tus Mashhad has long been a centre of pilgrimage but it was only under Safavid rule, when the Shi’ite faith was adopted as the nation’s religion, that it became the holiest city in Iran. This morning we visit the vast Haram-e Razavi, the shrine complex of Imam Reza, the eighth Shi’ite Imam who died in the village of Sanabad in 817 AD. The Imam was said to have been poisoned on the orders of the Abbasid Caliph Ma’mun who, nevertheless, buried him next to the tomb of his own father, the illustrious Harun al-Rashid.

Constructed under Sultan Sanjar in the early 12th century, this structure with its two courtyards (each with four ) within strong fortification walls served as both a royal mosque and . Its strategic position on the Silk Route made it an important rest stop for travellers as indicated by the small mihrab to one side on the exterior walls, showing the direction of prayer to journey makers who arrived after the gates were closed. Our visit includes the inner courtyard, the central , with its intricate brickwork façade that opens into a domed chamber flanked by two large and self-contained suites.

Used as a defensive post since before the Achaemenid era it is the only fortress to withstand a siege by Tamerlane. We visit the Khorshid Palace built at the time of Nader Shah, the great military commander and ruler of Persia, to house the royal family. The cylindrical façade stands 20 metres high and houses 12 rooms decorated with paintings and ornamental plaster mouldings.
