Walk the alleys of old city to grab more of local atmosphere and architecture.
Watch the Mesopotamian plains everywhere you can grip a good sight. The plains look as if lying flat till the end of the world.
Enjoy one of the closest shaves in the Middle East. There are several small barber shops along the main street through the old city centre. Most offers include double shaving, head massage, a good conversation and of course a cup of tea. Not all barbers will do the job, though. The first one you encounter while walking uphill from the main square will rip you off 20 TL absurd price for a mediocre shaving and inacceptable haircut.
There is a traditional hamam bathhouse in town, along the main street in the old town. Not sure if it is still popular with locals or if it is taken over by tourists, someone should visit this and update this listing with prices!
