Day 2:
Göbeklitepe & Harran & Karahantepe
We will see Gobeklitepe, a hilltop sanctuary erected on the highest point of an elongated mountain ridge some 15 km northeast of the town of Urfa. Pools of Holy CarpWhat makes Gobeklitepe unique in its class is the date it was built, which is roughly twelve thousand years ago, circa 10,000 BC.
Karahan Tepe is an archaeological site in Şanlıurfa Province in Turkey. The site is close to Göbekli Tepe and archaeologists have also uncovered T-shaped stelae there. The excavations have uncovered 250 obelisks featuring animal figures. The site is located near Yağmurlu and roughly 46 kilometers east of Göbekli Tepe, which is often called its sister site. It is part of the Göbeklitepe Culture and Karahantepe Excavations project. The area is known as “Keçilitepe” by local people. It is part of a region of similar sites now being uncovered known as the Taş Tepeler.
We will visit nearby Harran and see the incredible beehive houses. Harran- according to the Bible- was the site where prophet Abraham spent a few years with his family before moving on to Israel, the Promised Land. There are exceptional photo opportunities in this area. After Harran we will drive to the airport to fly back to Istanbul.
Bazda Caves are located at the 15th km of the Harran-Han el-Ba'rur road. There are historical stone quarries on both sides of the road since the beginning of the year. Bazda caves are on the right of the road at 19 km. It is the most important and most beautiful stone quarry in the region. Large cavities were formed on the exterior of the mountain, which spread over a very large area, due to stone cutting. From the Arabic inscriptions written on the rocks, it is understood that this quarry was operated in the 13th century by individuals such as "Abdurrahman al-Hakkari", "Muhammet Ibn-i Bakir", "Muhammed al-'Uzzar". As a result of hundreds of years of stone removal for the surrounding Harran, Shuayp city and Han el-Ba'rur structures, many squares, tunnels and galleries were formed in both caves. Especially the larger one was carved in places with two floors, and squares were created in the middle by leaving feet up to 10-15 meters high.
