Naqsh-e Rajab (Persian: نقش رجب, Persian pronunciation: [næɣʃeɾæˈdʒæb]) is an archaeological site just west of Istakhr and about 5 km north of Persepolis in Fars province, Iran.
Together with Naqsh-e Rostam, which lies 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) away, the site is part of the Marvdasht cultural complex. Together, the two sites are a tentative candidate for World Heritage Site status.[1]
Naqsh-e Rajab is the site of four limestone rockface inscriptions and rock-cut bas-reliefs that date to the early Sasanid Empire.
