Aresk is situated in a semi-desert region with hot and dry weather. However, due to the availability of cisterns and local water resources, orchards of pomegranates, apricots, and pistachios can be found in its vicinity.

The architecture of Aresk's houses, with their mud walls and small badgirs (wind towers), contributes to the city's picturesque charm. Aresk boasts several tourist attractions, including:

Ternav Bridge
Aresk Mosque
Natural Cisterns
