Diyarbakır

Diyarbakır tour packages explore one of the oldest cities of Mesopotamia, ringed by miles of black basalt walls that are among the longest in the world. The Diyarbakır Fortress and Hevsel Gardens form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the Tigris river flowing beside terraced orchards.Inside the walls stand the Great Mosque, caravanserais such as Hasan Paşa Han, and old streets with a distinct Kurdish and Syriac heritage. Food is a highlight, including watermelon-and-cheese breakfasts and kaburga dolması. Because the region is in the south-east, check government advisories and local conditions before travelling.
