PM me when you want to do it, I can give some advice.

Some awesome sights between persepolis and Shiraz too. The Tomb of Cyrus the Great, the great wall carved tombs of Darius...

Re: Middle Eastern warriors of old

Spugsy, this guy has a number of Arabian warrior arts in his gallery as well as Conan. He's based in Saudi Arabia. I'm sure he could be of help to you...
