If you really must see all that Makthar has to offer, then you can take short walks to the far corners of the archaological site in search of the House of Venus and the Temple of Hathor Miskar. There is little to see though, and I wasn't altogether sure if it really was a House of Venus or if it was actually some poor b****r's stone house that collapsed in the last decade.
