Drive or walk to Bawshar Fort before dawn. The ruins are best seen in the soft light before the heat sets in. Find a quiet spot on the ridge to wait for the sun.

Watch the sunrise at 06:50. The sun emerges toward the WSW, casting long shadows across the mud-brick fortress and the scattered prehistoric beehive graves on the ridgeline behind it. This is the peak moment for photography.
