For travellers interested in fossil hunting and local culture, staying in the town centre is ideal. You'll be close to the small fossil shops and workshops where local artisans prepare their finds. It also provides a practical base for organising excursions to nearby fossil sites or experiencing the daily life of a desert community.

Couples looking for a unique and authentic experience will appreciate the town's quiet evenings and the opportunity to interact with locals.
