The city center, arranged around its main bazaar and older quarters, keeps shops and transit links within walking distance, while newer neighborhoods extend into the surrounding hills. A central base makes it easiest to reach both the old town and outlying sights.
Historic rock carvings and ancient sites in the surrounding countryside are best visited in the milder daylight hours of spring or autumn, when temperatures are gentler than the region's hot summers or cold winters. The old bazaar rewards unhurried daytime exploration.
Shared taxis and city buses cover most routes, with private taxis available for more direct trips. The compact center is walkable, though the mountainous terrain means some outlying attractions are easier reached by hired car.
Spring and early autumn bring the most comfortable temperatures, avoiding both the sharp winter cold and the dry heat of summer in this mountainous region. Snow can affect travel in the surrounding highlands during winter months.
