Position yourself in front of the building for the shot, with the ancient architecture's entrance as the main subject. Frame the scene with the eaves and door frame to highlight the subject. Use color contrast to attract the viewer's attention, and enrich the content with the lines of the eaves and intricate carvings.

Additional experience: There's also a shadow puppet show here that's quite interesting. If you're intrigued, make sure to check it out. It's located in the Muslim Quarter, so after exploring, you can enjoy some food and drinks.
