The history of these underground cities is just fascinating - the amount of time and effort that must have gone into creating and maintaining these cities is hard to imagine. What a great strategy though, if you want to avoid an invading army or other persecuting force - how better than to disappear underground! The sheer size and complexity of... More

Unbelievable ! Our guide from Middle Earth Travel was excellent.

The rooms are tall enough and the experience is fascinating but there are so many tour groups it impacts the experience. Between rooms there are tunnels where you bend and crouch down to walk. It is possible to be crouched down in a tunnel unable to get into the next room because of a tour group ahead of you while... More

Then corridors got smaller and longer, plus as the corridors are filled with tourists, you are stuck at where you are. It probably triggered panic attack for me,... More

Stopped by here and toured the site....pretty cool to see. Watch the low ceilings! There are no decorations or setups to give you a good mock up on how people lived in these dwellings, so all the rooms look alike. No need to visit more than one city as they are all the same. Kids will love running around a... More

We travelled here in winter, and there were very few others visiting the underground city. It was great to wander around, crawl through tunnels and explore the nooks and crannies - it was kind of like being a kid again (although if you do take your kids... keep an eagle eye on them as there are holes and openings everywhere.)...
