Mesopotamia: A Journey to the Roots of Civilization

“To be honest, we had no idea that such places existed in Turkey. Everyone knows Istanbul or Cappadocia. However, when Pobeda Travel suggested a route through Mesopotamia, we simply trusted them. Consequently, it became one of the most powerful journeys of our lives.”

The Golden City: Mardin

Our adventure began in Mardin. This city looks as if it were carved from pure gold. You can find stone houses, narrow streets, and the rich aroma of cardamom coffee everywhere. Furthermore, our guide explained that ancient caravan routes once crossed here. From the horizon, you can still see the plains of Syria.

Echoes of the Past

Every day revealed a new story. For instance, at the Mor Gabriel Monastery, a monk spoke to us in ancient Aramaic. Then, in Deyrulzafaran, we explored underground halls where Christians found refuge centuries ago. Additionally, we visited the ancient city of Dara. There, we stood before giant tombs carved directly into the cliffs.

Exceptional Organization

Our transfers were organized perfectly. The drivers were calm, professional, and knew the roads well. Moreover, they stopped at the best viewpoints so we could take beautiful photos. Meanwhile, the Pobeda Travel operator stayed available 24/7. They helped with every detail, from dinner recommendations to finding the best local spices.

Where Civilization Began: Sanliurfa

In Sanliurfa, we visited Gobeklitepe. This site is more than 12,000 years old. In fact, standing there and realizing that civilization was born in this spot gives you goosebumps. In the evening, we enjoyed dinner on a terrace in Sanliurfa. We listened to the sounds of the oud while enjoying the scent of fresh bread.

In conclusion, this journey truly erased the feeling of time. Pobeda Travel created a route where the past and present unite perfectly. Therefore, we felt we were in reliable hands throughout the trip. Mesopotamia is for those who want to feel the roots of history. If you go, you must choose Pobeda Travel. ✨
