Introduction
Before the thorough re-organization of the site presentation program in 2008, we used to make available at the site two distinct sets of printed material – a 40 page booklet that was given to visitors free of charge, and a 58 page companion folder with color illustrations that the guard would lend the visitors to use while following the itinerary.
Both were posted on the public website for personal downloads as desired. We keep these postings available, even though they are now dated and have primarily an historical interest.

Guidebook
There is an English (3MB) and an Arabic (1.5MB) version, both of them in .PDF format.

Companion folder
English and Arabic are given side by side on the same page. In the chart below, the text is split into PDF files that match the individual sections of the folder. You may also download the entire file (PDF 4.8MB).
