Travel from Gaziantep to one of Turkey’s most extraordinary historical landscapes on this private full-day tour to Mount Nemrut, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After meeting your guide in the morning, begin a scenic drive through the plains and mountains of southeastern Anatolia in a comfortable private vehicle. As the landscape gradually transforms from fertile valleys to rugged highlands, the journey itself becomes part of the experience.
As you approach the Nemrut region, explore the legacy of the Kingdom of Commagene, one of the most fascinating civilizations of ancient Anatolia. The first stop is Karakus Tumulus, believed to be a royal burial monument of the Commagene dynasty. The journey continues to the elegant Cendere Roman Bridge, one of the best-preserved Roman bridges in the world. At Arsemia Ancient City, once the summer capital of Commagene, rock reliefs and inscriptions reveal the story of King Antiochos and his vision of blending Persian and Greek cultural traditions.
At the summit of Mount Nemrut, rising more than 2,100 meters above sea level, you will encounter the monumental stone heads of ancient gods and kings surrounding the royal tomb sanctuary of Antiochos I. Standing among these colossal statues, overlooking the mountains of Upper Mesopotamia, offers a haunting glimpse into a lost empire. Depending on daylight conditions and the pace of the tour, your guide may adjust the timing to experience the summit during the most beautiful light of the day.
Designed for travelers who prefer comfort, flexibility, and personal attention, this private tour allows you to explore Nemrut at your own pace. With professional local guidance, a private air-conditioned vehicle, and a carefully planned itinerary, you can focus entirely on the experience while logistics are handled for you. At the end of the tour, you may return to Gaziantep or choose a convenient drop-off in Adıyaman or Kahta
