Zeugma, Halfeti, Gobelitepe Tour 2 days

Meet with your guide when you arrive at Gaziantep Airport on an early morning flight. If you request, you can have breakfast. 
Visit  Zeugma Mosaic Museum, the second-largest mosaic museum in the world. It displays mosaics, sculptures, and other artefacts from the ancient city of Zeugma (Belkıs). 
Magnificent floor and wall mosaics, statues, and ancient artefacts unearthed from the ancient city of Zeugma, which flourished during the Roman period around 256 AD, on the banks of the Euphrates River, are exhibited at the Gaziantep Mosaic Museum. The original of the world-famous Gypsy Girl Mosaic is shown here also. 
Other historical sites in Gaziantep include Antep Castle, Zincirli Bedesten, and the old Coppersmiths' Bazaar. We'll also have a lunch break at a local restaurant serving delicious dishes typical of Antep. We'll taste pistachio baklava. Then, we'll drive to Halfeti Dam.

Halfeti was founded by the Assyrian King Shalmaneser III in 855 BC. This ancient city has been ruled by many civilisations throughout its history, including the Hittites, Assyrians, Medes, Persians, Seleucids and Parthians. Many parts of ancient Halfeti, the only region in the world where black roses are grown, have been flooded by the Bilecik Dam. On a boat trip to Halfeti dam, we will see Rumkale (Roman Castle), which is believed to be the place where Jesus' apostle John made copies of the Bible. The ruins at Rumkale have late Roman and medieval features. Rumkale offers a magnificent view of the remains of old water cisterns, St Nerses Church and Barşavma Monastery.  Then we will drive to Sanliurfa.
Dinner and accommodation in Şanlıurfa. (Breakfast - Dinner)
** We will have dinner in Sanliurfa with a traditional musical program called Sıra Gecesi.

After breakfast, we start our tour of Sanlıurfa, known as the city of prophets. We will visit Halil-Ür Rahman Mosque, Rızvaniye Mosque, and the cave where Prophet Abraham was born.  Balıklıgöl, where Prophet Abraham is said to have been thrown into a fire. The burning logs were said to have turned into fish, while the fire turned into water. We will also visit old Sanliurfa. Sipahi Bazaar, Hüseyiniye Bazaar, Naccar Bazaar, Gumruk Inn and Ulucami (Grand Mosque). 
Visit the Urfa Archeology Museum and the Haleplibahçe Mosaic Museum, which have an indoor area of 29,000 square meters and exhibit many historical artefacts from Anatolian civilisations. Lunch break at a local restaurant. The next Visit is Gobeklitepe.
Gobeklitepe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the oldest temple in the world, with a history of 11,000 years, dating back to the Stone Age. One of the most important archaeological discoveries of our time, Göbeklitepe is thought to be the first pilgrimage centre of the world, as it rewrites history.
Karahantepe, where a recently discovered human statue is believed to be around 12,000 years old. For what purpose were the Karahantepe and Göbeklitepe temples buried underground? The technology and mathematical knowledge used to build the Temple with 16-ton rock megaliths remain a mystery.
At the end of our Taştepeler tour, you’ll be transferred to Urfa Airport. (Breakfast.)
