After approximately three and a half hours, stop in Kahramanmaraş, a city celebrated for its traditional goat-milk ice cream. Enjoy a short break before continuing for approximately one hour toward Gaziantep.

After the museum visit, continue for approximately one and a half hours to Şanlıurfa. Check in to your hotel and enjoy a short rest before exploring the city’s sacred historical quarter.
Visit Balıklıgöl, the Pool of Abraham . According to local religious tradition, this is where Prophet Abraham was miraculously saved after being thrown into a fire by King Nimrod.
Walk around the pools, gardens and historic mosque complex while your guide explains the religious traditions and cultural importance of the area.
