🇮🇷Iran Shiraz "Ancient City Subway" A subway in an ancient desert city!? Luxurious and shiny, the gap between above ground and underground

Shiraz is an ancient city that was the capital of the Zand dynasty of Persia in the 18th century, and is now a world-famous tourist destination. It's surprising that such a city has a subway! You can travel conveniently from Karim Khan Fort, the landmark of the old city, to Eram Gardens by subway. The entrance on the ground has an ancient ruins-like design, but once inside, you'll be surprised at how modern and luxurious it is, like a modern palace!? It's a must-see for subway freaks... In fact, Shiraz may seem like just a tourist city, but it's actually a major base for Iran's electrical industry and oil refining. Still, it's a real surprise to me, as I never imagined there would be a subway in the ancient city that is the base for Persepolis tourism...
