Lalish is an amazing area. get here on a popular day when the people are here. Take off your shoes, they walk bare foot here. Walk up the main street and there is a special underground part 100meters or so on the right. you have to walk through a gate and into a square area. inside here there is a secret area. People are super friendly, they can show you around.
