Destination Routes
Overview
Embark on a soul-stirring journey to the Mesopotamian plains, where the history of mankind was written. This 4-night premium expedition takes you to Mardin, a city of stone that glows like gold at sunset, and Şanlıurfa, the home of the legendary Göbeklitepe.
In Mardin, walk through narrow alleys that lead to ancient Syriac monasteries and Islamic madrasas. Breathe in the culture of a thousand years as you look over the vast plains towards Syria.
The highlight of the tour is Göbeklitepe, the "Zero Point in Time." Stand in awe before 12,000-year-old pillars that predate agriculture and settled life. Discover the spiritual heart of the Neolithic revolution with our expert archaeologist guides.
