Routes

It is the only route to the east of the province after Sanliurfa City Centre, Gobekli Tepe and Harran and its vicinity. This route passes through the northern end of Tek Tek Mountains National Park. The most important places to visit here are Karahan Tepe, which we can call the twin of Gobekli Tepe, where traces of prehistoric settlements such as Gobekli Tepe can be found, but not yet excavated. Here, as in Gobekli Tepe, it is possible to see smaller T-pillars. Sanem caves is a village with various architectural structures carved into the rocks. It is thought that the large three-storey building found here and carved into the rock was a palace and a monastery. Another visitor center, Cimdin Castle, is a defense castle from the Eyyubids, surrounded by dykes. Since it is on the caravan routes, it also served as an important logistics center. The other two destinations of the route are His Holiness Eyyub Nebi Delubrum an Viransehir city center. In Viranşehir, Ibrahim Pasha Mansion, Semun Monastery and Tella Martyrion, which is estimated to be the martyrdom of one of the first saints of Christianity, are historical and cultural structures that can be seen and visited from a touristic point of view.
