1. Upon arrival in Sanlıurfa, you will be met by your tour guide at the airport holding a name sign with your name on it.

History Gobeklitepe dates back to the early period of mankind ( about 12,000 BC – 9000 BC ), even earlier than Stonehenge. The discovery of the oval-shaped temples in 1996 by German archeologists created a new perspective in the history of humans with God. Today you will visit the Oldest Temple of the world and the site of ongoing archeological excavations, then we will drive to the Archeology Museum and Mosaic Museum where the relics are displayed.

About Istanbul

Istanbul s'étend sur l'Europe et l'Asie de part et d'autre du Bosphore : monuments byzantins et ottomans, bazars animés, ferries entre deux continents.

La péninsule historique concentre les plus grands monuments. Sainte-Sophie, la Mosquée bleue et l'Hippodrome se font face à Sultanahmet, la Citerne Basilique s'étend sous les rues, et le palais de Topkapı occupe la colline qui domine la Corne d'Or. À quelques pas, le Grand Bazar et le Bazar aux épices commercent depuis des siècles, et la mosquée Süleymaniye, œuvre du grand architecte ottoman Sinan, couronne l'une des sept collines de la ville.

Top-ranked sights in Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
