Overview of your Sanliurfa tour

Midyat is one of the most interesting places of Mesopotamia in terms of architecture. Midyat reminding of a Medieval city with its gradually rising stone mansions, abbaras, bell towers, is composed of two sections as Estel in which Arabs live in and historical Midyat in which Assyrians live in. Midyat houses and mansions are as if composed of historical books and tales. Internal parts of Midyat houses, which are more elaborate than Mardin houses, are just as meticulous as external parts. Midyat residents occupy in silver and viticulture works for approximately two thousand years. It is possible to find Assyrian wine, produced here with traditional methods. Hasankeyf that was called as Kipas, Kefa (Cepha) or Kifas by Roman historians took the name of "Hısn-ı Kifa" during the Islamic period and this name was transformed into Hasankeyf in time. Kefa means "rock" in Syriac language and "Hısn-ı Kifa" in Arabic means "Kifa Castle. When we end this tour you will be greateful to book the tour, seeing Tigris
