5 Days Mesopotamia Tour with Expert Local Guide｜Turkey

Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

Dear Traveller, my name is Shahin, I am your local guide in Ancient Mesopotamia and whole Turkiye. Since I will be leading your tour, I am also responsible for presenting it here.

I have been conducting tours, primarily archaeology-themed tours, throughout Turkey since 2000.

I accompany curious travelers who are tired of shopping and photography, and who want to discover new places, learn about real history, local culture, and local customs and traditions.

If you would like to explore Anatolia in depth with me, I invite you to join my tour. Yes, you might pay a little more than other agencies offer, but you will experience an uncensored tour based on real UNESCO World Heritage sites and facts. And I promise, I will not waste your precious and limited time in shopping malls.


What will you see, know, and learn if you join this tour?

First of all, you will gain a thorough understanding of how this unique natural architectural masterpiece known as Anatolia was formed geologically, and what its boundaries encompass. You will realize how the myths and legends surrounding "Anatolia," "Mesopotamia," and "Asia Minor" are actually misconceptions, and you will understand the origins of the places, events, and concepts that have been the subject of historical books and legends in the region. You will get to know the civilizations that have touched, influenced, and been influenced by the region. You will understand how stone carving, an important source of income for the region, began, developed, and became synonymous with Mesopotamia. You will witness how the religious structure of the Roman Empire changed rapidly from the 1st century to the 4th century, and how the official Roman religion, previously Paganism snd Mithraism, was replaced by Christianity over time.

If these topics don't interest you, and you only want to join a tour to take photos, we would never recommend our tour, because we are the most boring agency in the region and i am the most boring guide.
