Excellent Quality
Overview
Stand among the 12,000-year-old pillars of Göbeklitepe with your own licensed guide, then see the best of Şanlıurfa. Lunch, entrance fees and pickup from your hotel or Şanlıurfa Airport are included. This full-day private tour is built around Göbeklitepe (Göbekli Tepe), the oldest known temple in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was built thousands of years before Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids, and it changed what we know about the beginnings of civilisation. Your guide explains the carved pillars and the latest excavations, then takes you to the Şanlıurfa Archaeology Museum to see finds from the site itself. In the afternoon you explore old Şanlıurfa. Visit the Haleplibahçe Mosaic Museum, the Roman rock tombs of Kızılkoyun, the sacred fish pool of Balıklıgöl and the Cave of Abraham, then walk through the covered bazaars to Gümrük Han. Lunch is at one of the city's best kebab restaurants. If you are flying in, the tour can start at Şanlıurfa Airport.
