Have you heard of Mardin, Turkey?! A popular travel destination for Turkish travelers, this area of Turkey is far less visited by Western tourists and was one of our FAVORITE places that we visited during our 4 week road trip in Turkey! Mardin is a picturesque mountain town near the border of Syria with beautiful architecture, fascinating history, amazing food and very friendly people! We highly recommend adding this lesser visited area of Turkey to your travel bucket list!!
Join us in this area of southeastern Turkey as we wander the picturesque streets of Mardin and take a couple of day trips in surrounding areas to Midyat, the historical ancient city of Dara AND Göbekli Tepe, one of the most important archeological sites in the world!

Mardin is the city where I was born and raised, and it truly is a wonderful place with an extraordinary atmosphere. If you have guests coming from abroad, I can show them around, or if I'm not available, my sister can assist them. I want to introduce this city to the world. For more information, you can contact me.
Video quality is good sound also Clear.
İnformative nice to see you in Türkiye.

May Allah SWT bless Turkey and it's beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂🇵🇰🇹🇷🥰😍. Best regards from Pakistan 🙂🇵🇰🇹🇷🥰😍
Honestly I came to see this video after I ate some delicious Turkish foods in Batu Ferringhi, Penang, Malaysia just now. The owner named his restaurant "Rubin Mardini" as he is from Mardin, Turkiye. What a place to visit though
Kurdish food
As a Turkish person, I would like to thank you for introducing my country with a sincere attitude. i hope you will have nice days in other regions in Turkey
Thank you so much for the kind words!! ☺️
It's kurdistan. Not turkey
Hooray! You found Gobekkli Tepe! The enigma in a mystery! Pre-pottery, stone tools, hunter/gathering nomads decided to change their world there...... And then bury their work on purpose.
You are very close to Noah and the tower of Babel.
I thought you would like this one! ☺️😉
Those were not deserts but just dry areas because the mountains block rain from coming inland
How beautiful. A lot of history Mesopotamia
It really is such an amazing and beautiful place!!

Hiya...did you have any issues flying a drone. I'm taking a dji spark...less than 500gm
We did not run into any issues at the time... but we do try to be discrete where we take off :)
0:50 I think you guys are from Australia and pretty well know what a typical desert looks like. So I don't understand what impression made you think that the area is a desert. I think you tried to say 'deserted', am I right?

Biji kurdistan
biraz daha çık hadi bakım
Welcome to Kurdistan!
there is isnt kurdistan bro
Mardin is a city of Turkey where Turks, Kurds, Arabs and Assyrians live together in peace and harmony
@@fatihyavuz2246 if you see there one native Turk who isn’t a tourist call me please but it is very rare and, most Arabs are new and refugees the only natives there are Kurds and syriacs
@@eyyubyilmaz2098 No matter wich ethnicity there lives everyone wich live in Mardin is turkish citizen and a part of Turkey. Turks, Kurds, Arabs, Circasians, Assyrians, Laz people all together is Turkey 🇹🇷
@@fatihyavuz2246 I would’ve agree with you if turkey didn’t persecute it’s minorities
Haha its kurdish. The Turks took and robbed any more than the map of Kurdistan belongs to Kurdistan
Welcome to Kurdistan😉✌
Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏
The history of Eastern Turkey belongs to Armenia (Armenian Highlands/Armeniam Kimgdom). Turkey was created in1453 AD, and celebrated his 659th Anniversary in MY 2022. How much these history ignorant people receive to falsift Turkish history. Western Turkey was Byzantium (Greek)/Eastern Roman Empire. istanbul was called Constintanopile, city of Constantin. About 3,800 historic sites sre Armenian, 3,400 Greek, 600 Jewish and Assyrisn and only 700 Turkish. Haja Sophia was the biggest Greek Orthodox Church. How can thes peopl spread lies and falsify Turkish history. There is no country called Turkey on any world historic maps. They were Turkish sleaking Sekike tribes from the East and .ongols from the Far east.
