We stayed one night at the coordinates without problems. Don‘t miss the sunrise!

Report Check-In

We arrived in the early afternoon and parked the car at the exact coordinates. At 9 p.m. a police car (or military ) came. One spoke english and wanted to know why we are there, our nationalities and see the passports. Without further explanation we got escorted back to the parking of the Monastery to spend the night. Looked like they where cancerned about our safety and did not want us staying out in the field.

Report Check-In

Access to this place from the parking area of the monastery impossible for big rigs. Took the earth road from Lusarat instead.

Report Check-In

Great place! We continued down the dirt road (left) along the fence and drove all the way up the hill to where the old city ruins are (right before the bridge). Stunning sunrise view. Loved the howling jackals at night.

Report Check-In

Nice place, very quiet, best view.

Report Check-In

Good spot, nice views. But furiously hot in summer- no shade and the stones act like an oven
