Southeast Turkey-Urfa 土耳其東南部聖城-烏爾法

We arrived at Urfa around 11 AM by bus from Mardin and got off to Belediye (city hall). Hotel Ugur locates just across the street. 15 TL/person. We walked for 10 min to Museum and later to the famous fish pond and gardens.

Next day, we took a tour with hotel owner Mustafa to go to Gobeklitepe to see archeoplogical site 12,000 years old.

 

 
Next, go to Otogar (Bus terminal) go downstairs to get on the bus to Harran for just 5 TL, takes an hour. Harran is the place where Ibrahim used to visit his uncle. It's one of the 3 places in the world that still have beehive houses.
