We went with our team mates to a beautiful hill top city in the mountains for an overnight stay. We had a tour from the city's historian- it's an ancient place (some claim it's the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world).
Stop 1: 500 year old tombs for the sultan and his wife.
It was amazing seeing the engravings lasting from so many years ago:

Stop 2: the ruins of a zoroastrian temple (bizarrely now filled with beautiful rabbits!):
Stop 3: The old city gate in the wall.
The views over the valley to the mountain ranges beyond are stunning:

| I'd love to live in these houses with their incredible views! |
Stop 4: a Jewish synagogue/burial site of (so they say) the patriarch Joseph's grandson (?).
There were a bizarre number of buttterflies in this tomb:
Stop 5: the tahini factory, above which we stayed the night:
