Arrive at the Jewish Cemetery before the sun crests the horizon. The white-washed tombs and sandy graves are quiet and striking in the pre-dawn stillness. Ask the men selling tickets for interesting information about the site.

Walk to My Kawa for a coffee or breakfast. It opens at 08:00, so it will be ready for you just as the golden light begins to hit the city.
09:31
Return to the Jewish Cemetery for a second look. The morning light reveals details in the architecture and the surrounding medina streets that are hidden in the harsh midday sun.
Local tip
The cemetery opens at 09:00. If you arrive before sunrise, you may need to wait or ask the ticket sellers to let you in early. My Kawa is open from 08:00, making it a perfect early stop.
