Itinerary
Göbeklitepe, which means "belly hill", is the oldest known temple in human history, and the first religious center on earth. Approximately 20 temples have been discovered in the region, and so far, six temples have been unearthed. The level of soil at the location of the building shows that the building was buried by human hands, not naturally. Göbeklitepe was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2018 and included in the World Heritage List. You can see at least 15 buildings and more than 200 obelisks, T-shaped columns, whose lengths between 3 and 6 meters, are thought to be stylized human figures. 3-dimensional lion relief. These figures strengthen the possibility that lions lived in Anatolia during the Neolithic period. The discovery of Göbeklitepe is an indication that settled life was passed through the temple, not agriculture. Before Göbeklitepe, all history books stated that the transition to settled life occurred with the emergence of farming and animal husbandry.
Sanlıurfa Archaeological Museum: After Gobekli Tepe, visit the Sanlıurfa Archaeological Museum to further immerse yourself in the historical artifacts of the region. Visitors to the Museum will have the opportunity to view a range of fascinating exhibits, including the oldest statue in the world, an imitation of the Göbeklitepe D Temple, the original Nevali Çori Temple, numerous periodic animations, a Prophet Abraham Animation, about 10,000 artifacts, and some of the most aesthetically pleasing mosaics in the world at the New Şanlıurfa Museum.
Experience the beauty of Abraham Pool and its cave through scenic views and nature walks. Balıklıgol, the Pool of Abraham is famous for its significance in Jewish and Islamic legends, where it is believed that Nimrod threw Abraham into a fire. The Cave of Abraham is a famous pilgrimage site in Urfa, believed to be the birthplace of Prophet Abraham.
Necropolis area of the city of Edessa from the Roman period. We will have the opportunity to visit these graves in the caves.
It is stated that the two-storey historical inn, built with cut Urfa stone and from whose courtyard flows the water of Balıklıgöl, which is rumored to be the place where Prophet Abraham was born and was thrown into the fire, was one of the places where commercial activities were carried out during the Ottoman period.

About Şanlıurfa
Şanlıurfa, in south-eastern Turkey, is the city of Abraham's sacred carp pools and the gateway to Göbekli Tepe, one of the oldest temple sites known.
Şanlıurfa, long known simply as Urfa, stands on the site of ancient Edessa and is traditionally linked with the prophet Abraham. At Balıklıgöl, pools of sacred carp lie beside a mosque and a courtyard of colonnades, and above them a citadel stands on a rocky ridge with two tall ancient columns. The covered bazaar nearby sells spices, copper and leather in lanes shaded by stone vaults.
