Ready to take a step into an ancient world where time slowed down? The old Siwan Village of Shali is like a real-life set from an adventure movie.

Don’t forget to snap a picture—Cleopatra would approve of the Insta-worthy moments!
Now, for a thrilling and slightly spooky experience—the Mountain of the Dead. Don’t let the name fool you, this isn’t a haunted house, but it definitely has some mystical vibes!

It’s like meeting a rockstar from ancient times—minus the screaming fans.
