Itinerary

(Breakfast Inculuded)
Meeting with the driver at the hotel in the morning and transfer to the airport for the flight to Adiyaman.
Upon arrival, meet your guide at the airport and begin your exploration of the ancient Commagene Kingdom.
Our first stop is Arsameia, the former summer capital of the kingdom, with intriguing rock inscriptions and reliefs. Then we will see Karakus Tumulus, a funerary monument of Commagene Royal Family, with the eagle on top of the south column. Before we climb to Nemrut we will see Cendere Bridge, a Roman structure still standing over the river.

In the late afternoon, we ascend Mount Nemrut, where colossal stone heads of ancient gods await at the summit. Experiencing the surreal mountain sanctuary is an unforgettable highlight of the journey. Following visit, we drive 3 hours to Sanliurfa. Overnight stay in Sanliurfa.

(Breakfast Inculuded)
After breakfast, we begin our day in Sanliurfa, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Our first stop is the Sanliurfa Archaeological Museum, home to fascinating artifacts from prehistoric and early Mesopotamian civilizations. Then we will visit Gobeklitepe, known as "the zero point of time." Dating back over 11,000 years, this extraordinary site rewrites human history as the world's oldest known temple complex. In the afternoon, we explore Balikligol (Pool of Abraham), a sacred site in Islamic tradition believed to be where Prophet Abraham was cast into the fire. At the end of the tour, transfer back to the hotel. Overnight stay in Sanliurfa. 

(Breakfast Inculuded)
After breakfast, we explore the ancient roots of Mesopotamia, starting with Harran, once a major center of astronomy and learning. Its iconic beehive houses and ancient university ruins still stand in the desert landscape. Next, we visit Karahantepe, a sister site to Gobeklitepe, where newly uncovered structures shed light on early human belief systems. Our final stop is Sogmatar, an ancient sacred city carved into rock, known for its unique symbols and temples dedicated to celestial gods. At the end of the tour, transfer to Sanliurfa Airport for the flight back to Istanbul.
Upon arrival in Istanbul Airport, meeting with our representant and transfer to your hotel.
This is the end of our service. We sincerely hope to welcome you as our guest again!
