So what else was there to see and do here in the desert town? Well... there was the old city that is nothing besides ruins and we visited... with it's pagan altar (ok... this one is a replica because the original is in a museum) and outlines of its city walls are still there... there is also a well that is believed to be one of Abraham's wells... but one thing is for sure, the cisterns they dug were quite impressive as we were able to walk through them. Even today the city still uses a cistern system to contain their water supply through the dry months.
