One of the most special stops of our tour, Göbeklitepe, with its history of approximately 12,000 years, is one of the oldest known monumental settlements in the world. Its T-shaped pillars, animal figures and temple areas that preserve their mystery offer important clues about the belief world of prehistoric communities. During your visit to Şanlıurfa, while exploring the area around Balıklıgöl, its historical inns and narrow streets, you will closely feel the spiritual atmosphere of the city. In Harran, the traditional houses with conical domes, ancient university ruins and the boundless plain landscape reflect the unique character of the region.

On Mount Nemrut, at the sacred site built in the name of Commagene King Antiochos I, you will see the giant god statues and the eastern and western terraces, and at the summit you will witness the enchanting colors of sunrise or sunset. Cendere Bridge stands out as one of the impressive examples of Roman engineering, while Karakuş Tumulus completes the monumental legacy of the Commagene dynasty. The lesser-known Perre Ancient City around Adıyaman deepens the historical richness of the tour with its rock tombs and stone-paved roads.

The Zeugma Mosaic Museum in Gaziantep, with its magnificent mosaics that have survived from the Roman period to today, is one of the most impressive stops of the tour. The mysterious gaze of the Gypsy Girl mosaic and the depictions of Poseidon and Euphrates give visitors a sense of the artistic understanding of the ancient world. Halfeti on the banks of the Euphrates, with its submerged old settlement fabric, black roses and boat trips, offers a different atmosphere, while Rumkale, with its historical location on steep cliffs, is a point worth seeing. In the Bakırcılar Bazaar in Gaziantep you can examine the handmade products of craftsmen and closely get to know traditional soaps, spices and copperwork. Throughout the tour you will have the opportunity to taste local kebabs, katmer and baklava, Antep pistachios, isot-flavored dishes and the flavors of different regions. NEMRUT-GÖBEKLİTEPE-ZEUGMA is a comprehensive journey of discovery that brings together the traces of ancient civilizations with natural beauty, rich cuisine and living urban culture.
