Following that, we start the day with Diyarbakır's famous breakfast. After breakfast in Diyarbakır, we begin our tour in the historical city center where stone turns into art. First, we visit the Diyarbakır House of the poet Cahit Sıtkı Tarancı, known for his poem “At thirty-five, it is halfway on the road.” In this beautiful house, which has separate usage areas for each season, you will see fine examples of regional civil architecture. After a short break here, we will visit the Ulu Mosque, which is the first in Anatolia and the 5th Harem-i Sharif in the Islamic world, and view the Four-Legged Minaret (Şeyh Mutahhar Mosque) built by Ak Koyunlu Kasım Bey in 1500. Next, we will have a panoramic view of the oldest parts of the Diyarbakır Walls, including the Keçi Burcu, Urfa Gate, and Mardin Gate, which are known to have a history of 9,000 years. We will then see the Hevsel Gardens, which was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2015 due to its cultural, historical, and agricultural values, and we will take photos. Afterwards, we arrive at the On Gözlü Bridge. During the time of Hıdırellez, locals write their wishes on a piece of fabric and throw it into the Tigris River from this bridge. After a photo break here, we head towards Şanlıurfa, the city of prophets, where Hz. Ibrahim was born and thrown into the fire, and Hz. Eyüp endured hardship.
One of the most famous places to visit in Şanlıurfa is Balıklı Göl. Balıklı Göl is located southwest of the city center and is known to be the place where Prophet Ibrahim fell when he was thrown into the fire. It is one of the most visited places in Şanlıurfa with its sacred fish and surrounding historical artifacts. After seeing Balık Göl (Halil-Ür Rahman) at the site where Hz. Ibrahim was thrown into the fire, and Aynzeliha Lake, which is said to be formed from the tears of Nimrod's daughter Zeliha, we will take a photo break after receiving information from our guide.

During our visit to the guesthouse, you can take photos while wearing local costumes. After our Harran tour, we will visit the Place of Patience of Hz. Eyyüb, known for his endurance among the prophets. We will see the cave where Hz. Eyyüb suffered from severe illness, the water well where he was believed to be treated, and the stone of patience that he leaned against. Following this visit, we will head to Göbeklitepe, which is in the vicinity of Örencik Village near Şanlıurfa. Göbeklitepe, which is home to the world's and Anatolia's first temples, has a history dating back to 12,000 years, and its discovery has changed not only regional history but human history. Göbeklitepe was featured on the cover of National Geographic magazine worldwide with the slogan "The Birthplace of Religion." After receiving historical information about Göbeklitepe from our guide, we say goodbye to Şanlıurfa and proceed to Mardin via Kızıltepe.
Our first stop in Mardin will be the Kasımiye Medrese. Initiated during the Artuqid period and completed in the late 15th century during the reign of Aqquyunlu Sultan Kasım Ibn Cihangir, we will visit this medrese and receive information from our guide. After that, we will get off at the Diyarbakır Gate and start walking in the old streets of Mardin. We will see Şeyh Çabuk Mosque, Mardin Protestant Church, Latifiye Mosque, Sokulbar (Cows Market), and Copper Traders' Bazaar during our walk starting from the Republic Square. We will also visit Mardin Ulu Mosque, an architectural example from the Artuqid period, accompanied by our guide. According to records, Mardin Ulu Mosque was built with two minarets, but the currently existing minaret was constructed in 1888/1889 in a new and eclectic style. After receiving historical information from our guide here, we will continue our walk by passing under the small tunnels (abbara) that connect the streets. We will see the Şahtana Mansion, which was used as a PTT Office and was recognized this way, built by the Armenian Architect Lole in 1980 by the Şahtana Family. After that, we will visit Şehidiye Mosque, which was built in the early 13th century by Artuqid Sultan Melik Nasreddin Artuk Aslan, and we will take a short break to have tea and take magnificent photos with a view of the Mesopotamia Plain.

On the third day of the Uçaklı Gap Tour with Dgn Travel, after having breakfast at the hotel, we set off for the Deyrulzafaran Monastery, where the Syriac Orthodox Patriarchs live.

We will visit the Mor Hananyo Church, the House of Saints, the Virgin Mary Church, and the Sun Temple with our guide and then take a break for free time. The Deyrulzafaran Monastery, overlooking the Mardin Plain and featuring magnificent architecture, will leave you in awe. After our free time, we will head to Dara Ancient City, located in Oğuz Village, 30 km southeast of Mardin. Dara Ancient City is one of the most important settlements in Upper Mesopotamia, consisting of cave-like rock buildings spread over a large area. We will visit the Dara Ancient City with our guide. After our Dara Ancient City tour, we will move on to Midyat, the meeting point of religions and languages. In Midyat, we will visit the Midyat Guesthouse, where series such as Sıla, Hercai, and Ah Bir Bulut Olsam were filmed. After visiting the guesthouse, we will visit a workshop where Telkari art, developed for years by Syriac masters, is practiced and we will do our shopping for Telkari. After our shopping for Telkari, we will have free time to stroll among the Historic Midyat Houses. Following our free time, we will meet our bus waiting for us in the bazaar and set off for Hasankeyf. Hasankeyf, which has a history of 12,000 years, was relocated to a new settlement 3 km away due to the construction of Ilısu Dam. In this tour of Hasankeyf, which was submerged in February 2020, we will witness its melancholy while viewing the still magnificent Hasankeyf Castle, the hidden water Tunnel, the minaret of El Rızık Mosque, and the caves. (If time permits, an extra Hasankeyf boat tour can be arranged.) After that, we will proceed to Diyarbakır Airport, saying farewell to the enchanting lands of Mesopotamia, where the first oil wells in Turkey are located, while enjoying the panorama of oil pumps.
