Journey to the dawn of civilisation on this private day tour from Diyarbakir to Gobeklitepe, the world oldest known temple and a UNESCO World Heritage Site near Sanliurfa. Dating back around 12,000 years, its monumental carved stone pillars predate Stonehenge and the pyramids by millennia, rewriting the story of human history.
The tour pairs Gobeklitepe with the ancient city of Sanliurfa (Urfa), the legendary birthplace of the Prophet Abraham, where you can visit Balikligol (the Pool of Sacred Fish), the historic bazaar and the Sanliurfa Archaeology Museum with its Neolithic treasures. With a private guide and vehicle, it is a profound journey into the roots of civilisation in Upper Mesopotamia.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!

Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
