Qalah Ibn Maan

Qalah ibn Maan is the name of the presiding castle ruins and viewpoints, high on a hill, which are located near Palmyra. The best time to approach the castle is during mid-afternoon, an hour before the sun sets, to make a quick visit to the ruins and make the obligatory pictures with the red light of the setting sun. The best way to get there is by taxi. The show is worth the effort and when the sun has set and the latest solar lights turn the rocks red and desert edges of the magnets fill the desert air. Palmyra at this time will become a magical place to be.
