Nestled within the heart of the desert, Tulor Village is like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Once an essential hub around 2800 BC, this ancient city was home to about 200 people. Today, it stands as a captivating museum, seemingly swallowed by the sands of time. The reconstructed town showcases houses crafted from mud, echoing the architectural style of its original inhabitants. These homes are encircled by protective walls and boast structures reaching up to two meters high. Interestingly, many of these buildings feature balconies, offering a glimpse into the past way of life.
Exploring Tulor Village feels like stepping back in time. The museum provides an intriguing look at ancient desert living. You can almost imagine the daily activities that once filled these spaces. While you're there, take a moment to appreciate the stunning backdrop of the vast desert landscape. It's not just a visit; it's an experience that connects you with history in a very real way.
