Hiking 'trail'

We started this day out with a hike up through the crevasse in these rocks. There was an abandoned mosque at the top along with a 360-degree view of the area. I didn’t go on the hike, mainly because the only shoes I had with me were Birkenstocks, but also because I’m not really a hiker and didn’t want to. The tour guide had assured me beforehand it was just flat walking and not anything strenuous, but the people who did go on the hike (or part of it) told me later it was pretty difficult and precarious. I was glad I had opted to walk around the area and visit an old village instead.

Good choice. I hike all the time and I wouldn't go on that "trail" in Birkenstocks.

looks like a bit of fun, but we obviously needed someone below to record the route
