Dear guests, we are meeting at 03:00 in front of Iskenderun Ayas Turizm. This historical city, which has embraced humanity with respect and love since ancient times, possesses a rich cultural heritage filled with stories and folk songs. Together, we are heading towards Şanlıurfa to explore this heritage. As we set off, we will provide you with breakfast during the journey to Birecik. We will then proceed to the natural habitat farm where the endangered Kelaynak Birds are protected, giving you the opportunity to see and photograph these magnificent creatures. Afterward, we will continue our journey to Halfeti. Once there, we will board a boat and embark on a delightful journey along the banks of the Fırat River, witnessing the submerged town of Halfeti and the remnants of the ancient settlement known as Rum Kale. Departing from Halfeti, we will return to Şanlıurfa, the city believed to be the abode of Prophets such as Hr Adem, Hz. Eyyub, Hz Ibrahim, Hz. Şuayb, and Hz Elija, also known as the City of Prophets. We will visit the Pool of Abraham, the Ayn-s Zeliha Lake, believed to have formed from the tears of King Nemrut's daughter Zeliha, and the cave where Prophet Ibrahim was born. Next, we will reach Göbeklitepe, considered the starting point of world history, the site of the first worship and settlement, and witness the 12,000-year-old temples adorned with reliefs of birds, snakes, and other fascinating symbols. After this incredible experience, we bid farewell to Şanlıurfa and begin our journey back. We hope to see you again at another Ayas Turizm event. Farewell and take care!
