This tour suits couples and small groups who want two unhurried days in Upper Mesopotamia. It works well for travelers interested in Syriac Christian heritage, because the route gives a full morning or afternoon to Deyrulzafaran and Mor Gabriel. Anyone who only wants a single afternoon in Mardin should choose a shorter tour, since the second day is spent on the road to Midyat and back.
Spring and autumn suit the stone streets and open terraces of Mardin best, when the air is mild. Summer is hot on the plain, so the guide can start the walks early and slow down in the afternoon. Mardin has its own airport, and Midyat is reached by road from Mardin, which the tour covers on the second day. Flights are not included in the price, so book your arrival before you confirm your dates.

It lasts two days. The first day covers Mardin's old city and Deyrulzafaran Monastery, and the second day covers Midyat and Mor Gabriel Monastery. One night in a hotel with breakfast is included.
Access to the upper citadel has been limited by a military zone and archaeological work. Your guide shows the castle from the rooftop of Zinciriye Madrasa, which gives a close view of the cliff ramparts.
Midyat is the second day of the tour, and the drive from Mardin is part of the route. Since the tour is private, you can ask your guide to spend more time in Midyat and less at the monastery.
Yes. Mor Gabriel Monastery lies about 23 kilometers southeast of Midyat and is visited on the second day. The guide can shorten the visit if you prefer to spend more time in the town.
The price is on request for your dates and group size. Send your dates and group size to WhatsApp +90 544 674 42 28, and a quote will follow.
Yes, on request. Dara lies southeast of Mardin on the road toward Nusaybin, so it fits best on day one if the group gives up some time in the old city. Tell us when you ask for a price, and we confirm the plan.
