Important Note: The tours we offer are designed for those who prefer a relaxed pace, comprehensive insights from knowledgeable guides and local meals in small boutique restaurants (we avoid large bus group venues with open-buffet lunches). If you prefer tours that visit many sites quickly, these may not align with your expectations.

Day 1 (Flight to Sanliurfa, visit Gobeklitepe & Sanliurfa, lunch and dinner included)

With an early pick-up from your hotel in Istanbul, we will drive you to Istanbul Airport for a flight to Sanliurfa Airport. When you land, our guide and driver will be ready to meet you at the exit gate with a sign bearing your name.

After a short drive, we will visit Sanliurfa center. The Old Testament prophets Jethro, Job, Elijah, and Abraham all lived in this city. The region was also home to Prophet Moses working as a shepherd for seven years in the region before returning to Egypt. That's why, the city is known as 'The City of Prophets'. We will visit the Pool of Prophet Abraham. It is believed that Prophet Abraham did not follow the religion of Nimrod and therefore he was thrown into the fire by Nimrod to kill. As Abraham is a follower of God, he was not killed by the fire. The fire was converted into the water and the firewood became the carps that you can see in the pool. We will also have a walk through the streets which have a great harmony of different cultures and ethnic groups.

After this visit, we will drive about 30 minutes to get to one of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Turkey: Gobeklitepe. Gobekli Tepe is the earliest known evidence of monumental human-made architecture so far. The site has been proved by the scientists that it is the oldest temple in the world from 11,500 years ago. The site features a large number of limestone pillars, many decorated with the stylized image of a T, and archaeoastronomers believe these also served an astronomically aligned function, as well. Then, we will drive about 1,5 hours to Adiyaman. Overnight accommodation in Adiyaman(Ramada Adiyaman Hotel or Park Dedeman Hotel).

Day 2 (Sunrise on Mount Nemrut, Flight to Istanbul, breakfast included)

We will wake-up quite early this morning around 03:30am to climb up to the summit of Mount Nemrut. Mount Nemrut has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. We will hike up to summit about 30 minutes after arriving to the entrance of the national park. After seeing one of the best sunrise in the world, statues of gods and kings, we will drive down from the mount to see Arsemia Ancient city, Cendere Bridge and Karakus Tumulus.

After having the breakfast at the hotel, we will drive to Adiyaman Airport for the flight back to Istanbul. After your arrival at the airport, our driver will meet you at the airport and drive you to your hotel in Istanbul.
