Signature Experience · Şanlıurfa
Where history began.
Built around 11,600 years ago, Göbeklitepe is the oldest known monumental site in the world. Discover it, and the neighbouring Taş Tepeler sites, with an expert guide.
The Experience
Older than Stonehenge and the pyramids.
The carved T-shaped pillars of Göbeklitepe changed our understanding of the beginnings of civilisation. Foxes, boars, snakes and birds still look out from the stone after more than eleven thousand years.
Our expedition combines Göbeklitepe with Karahantepe, the Şanlıurfa Archaeology Museum and the sacred fish pools of Balıklıgöl.
