Recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, this park boasts stunning panoramas, sheer cliffs, natural caves (including the Gueldaman caves), and trails ideal for hiking, climbing, and wildlife observation.

Tikjda
In winter, this mountain resort welcomes skiing and snow-sport enthusiasts. The rest of the year, it is a popular destination for camping, hiking, and open-air picnics.
