The Farasa Valley

It is located on the western side of Mount Altar, and most importantly, it can be seen on the road to the valley fountain. A lion, which is carved in the rock, may have religious significance and in particular that there is an altar with a small face of this fountain. There are also remaining channels of water carved in rock that lead to water tanks; some parts are built and others carved with a large reservoir depth of almost 17 meters.

It was a pilgrimage rout to the High Place of Sacrifice; many commemorative inscriptions were engraved at the beginning of rout. There are many remarkable tombs in this valley, the most beautiful one being the “Renaissance Tomb”.
