Travel Tips

This is a neat place to hang out, and it seems quite a few of the locals have the same idea.

Columns outside the amphitheatre. Be wary of the numerous locals who attempt to get you to hire them for a tour. A polite no thank you is advised.

A beautiful site, and well worth the visit.

Across from the amphitheatre you will see stairs leading up the hill to a small arched building, where you can take nice panaramic views of the amphitheatre and city.

Along the street that runs in the front of the amphitheatre one can find your typical tourist traps. Of course, I stopped in and bought the required sand art glass bottles and arabic head wraps. I was surpised that the shopowners were not that pushy. If you have ever been to Cancun, Mexico, you will know what pushy is.

A view at dusk of the street near the base of the amphitheatre. It is here you can find all your touristy nick nacks.

Ruins at the Citadel. While the site is beautiful, there are very few markers explaining what you are looking at. Unlike me, I would suggest reading up before you go.

From the top of the hill containing the Citadel you get a real view of the city.
