Gur-e Dokhtar (Persian: literally the daughter's tomb ,گور دختر) is an ancient tomb located in the province of Bushehr in Iran. This grave has great similarities to Cyrus II's tomb in Pasargad, but is smaller. The tomb dates to the 6th century BC.[1] It is possibly the tomb of Cyrus the Great's grandfather, Cyrus I.
