Sitting by the Euphrates and asking 'what should we do?' is basically a luxury — time here gets heavy around dusk when the bald ibises circle home, then suddenly speeds up again. Do you sit in the shade of a pistachio orchard, listen to the river, or cross over and climb up to the castle? It's all there, waiting. Can't decide? Don't sweat it: roll the dice and let Birecik handle the rest at its own pace.
