This Mardin private tour runs for two days, with hotel pick-up in Mardin and one night in a hotel with breakfast. A licensed guide, a minivan with driver, lunch both days and entrance fees are included. Day one covers the old city and Deyrulzafaran Monastery. Day two follows the road to Midyat and Mor Gabriel Monastery on the Tur Abdin plateau.

Who this tour suits

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.

Best season and getting to Mardin

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.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the Mardin and Midyat tour?

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.

Can we go inside Mardin Castle?

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.

Is Midyat included, or is it an extra trip?

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.

Is Mor Gabriel Monastery on the route?

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.

How can I get a price?

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.

Can we add Dara ancient city?

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.
