More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step through a stone arch and the street surface of an ancient city rises under your feet — sun-baked basalt, faded frescoes, and shadowed shopfronts that invite small hands to touch history. Children are given roles: archaeologist, storyteller, or detective, and the guide turns ruins into a living classroom where questions spark exploration rather than long waits.
