Absolutely overrated mountain! And also UNESCO heritage! This is forbidden, that is forbidden, but the locals sit and smoke weed on top of this mountain - very colorful! Half-dead dogs with puppies are scattered everywhere. Please buy food if you are going to go here. Yes, the climb is very conveniently equipped, and generally fast, but all the bricks that they tell you "were left over from the time of the king" are actually laid right before your eyes with new masonry 👍🏻 It might be worth going just for the view and beautiful photos, but I will not go here again) If someone wants to see a real city on the rocks - go to Crimea to Chufut and Mangum Kale. At least no one is making anything up there
