Some tips:
- Keep in mind that exploring ancient ruins requires a degree of respect and caution. Avoid causing unnecessary disturbance to the site and try not to litter. Pack a small litter bag to carry your rubbish until you find an appropriate disposal point.
- Since it is going to be a full day out, be sure to check the sunset timing and aim to leave the ruins before dark. Not only for safety reasons but also because the site may close at sunset.
- Lastly, let your curiosity guide you but also be careful not to wander off into restricted areas. The city is an archaeological site so some parts may be off-limits due to ongoing excavations or safety concerns.
