Get around

Traffic is really chaotic, not as bad as Tehran, however, I would not recomend driving ones own vehicle here. Taxis are cheap and probably the best way to get around the city. The heat is really infernal. In August it reaches more that 50 degrees! Not really possible to walk in the streets at peak hours as there is no way one can resist.

Do

Nice ice cream parlour near to the bazar heading towards the river. There is a cake shop above and is located in the cellar.

Eat

Iran hotel has a reasonable restaurant where u can dine with confort and AC. Not bad to stay either. Prices are good, but make sure u get a room on the fourth or fight floor as floors 3 and 2 are almost in ruins. The majority of the rooms have Asían latrine, so be prepared to bend your knees. Staff speak little or no english.

Stay safe

In Ahwaz everyone is keen to help you, but english is not widely spoken.
