Things to do Free Tour of Sanliurfa: Culture, History & Local Life

Welcome to the ancient city of Şanlıurfa! I’m Osman, a local guide born and raised in this city. On this walking tour, we’ll explore the rich culture, hidden stories, and sacred sites of Urfa together. We’ll start at Balıklıgöl, visit the cave where Prophet Abraham is believed to be born, and see the Dergah Mosque. Then, we’ll climb to Urfa Castle for fantastic city views. We’ll continue through the old town’s narrow streets, passing beautiful stone houses, historic mosques, and the impressive Reji Church. You’ll also discover local markets full of colors, spices, and traditional crafts. I’ll share local stories, legends, and tips, all from the perspective of someone who truly knows this city. Ultimately, I’ll show you where to find authentic Urfa cuisine, including kebabs and çiğ köfte. I’ll be waiting for you at the entrance of Balıklıgöl with glasses, long curly hair, and a blue backpack. Walk with me and discover the real Urfa!
