The visit takes place on the high mountain peak 2817m above sea level, known by the locals as Şeyh Bazid Hill, 5.5km east of the Kayadibi (Purşeng) hamlet of Örenağıl (Versenge) village, within the borders of Sason district of Batman province. In addition, Sheikh Bazid Hill forms the other branch of Meretto Mountain. Örenağıl village is located 87 km northeast of Batman city center and 21 km northeast of Sason town centre.

The area around the visitation area, which is said to have the tomb of Sheikh Bazid, was built with rubble stones without using mortar. Access to the visit is provided by a small south-facing entrance opening. The visiting area measures 3.80 m in the east-west direction and 3.00 m in the north-south direction. The tomb belonging to Sheikh Bazid was covered with rubble stone in the same way. While the foot and head of the grave were made of irregular stones, there is no inscription or decoration on them. It is said by the local people that Sheikh Bazid died here and was buried here.
