Daniel 8:2

In this vision, I saw myself in the fortified city of Susa, in the province of Elam. I saw myself standing by the Ulai Canal.
[Susa is located 380 km east of Babylon and 200 km north of the Persian Gulf. In Daniel's time, it was a relatively insignificant small town, but it would become the capital of Persia. The location of the vision also reinforces the prophetic accuracy of the message. It is here that the Persian king Xerxes I, who reigned from 486 to 465 BC, would build a large palace a century later. It is in this royal palace that the events in the Book of Esther would eventually take place, see Est. 1:2. Here Nehemiah was cupbearer to King Artaxerxes in 446 BC, see Neh. 1:1, 11.
In his service in Babylon, Daniel had certainly visited Susa a few times. According to the Jewish historian Josephus, Daniel was physically present in Susa when he saw this vision, but the fact that he was in the king's service only a few days later suggests that he was not far from Babylon, see Dan. 8:25. Ulai was a 250-meter-wide dug canal northeast of the city.]
