don't skip the little gardens surrounding the tomb – they are stunning and perfect for a laid-back stroll. you can grab some great shots there too!

Bring some water and snacks along, as the nearby vendors can be hit or miss. It’s better to be prepared and save some cash!

Make sure to bring some water and snacks—you'll be wandering around for a while! I ended up buying overpriced water from a vendor because I forgot.

If you have a camera, take advantage of the sunrise light—it's magical. I regret not doing an early morning shoot when I was there.

Bring some cash with you! There are small local shops nearby where you can grab snacks or souvenirs for a good deal. I wish I had done this instead of relying on only cards.

If you're into photography, the best light is just before sunset. So stay a bit longer after your visit, and you'll get some amazing pictures of the architecture with the golden hour glow.
