Route A 7th Day


We are going to Deyrulzafaran Monastery Before leaving from Mardin. From the terrace, We are taking photos of plateau and olive groves that surround and protect the monastery. In every place of worship that we visit, we understand why they prefer there to build their buildings. After the Monastery, we are on our way to Şanlıurfa. Almost 10 minutes later, Goats blocks us by crossing the road. 

As soon as we arrive at Sanlıurfa in the Afternoon, we are going to Pool of Abraham. We search how we can look from different perspective at this place, where is photographed thousand times. Fedja Salihbasic (@felecool) succeeds looking at this place under the water between holy fishes with his Go Pro camera.

We arrive at Urfa Bazaar by walking in the shadows of the castle, which looks at the city from the top. We see  kebap restaurants, clothiers, sellers with trolley who sells cucumber and green paper, we don't want to leave this place but the sun is going down and we should go back to hotel to prepare to join "sıra gecesi".

We sit on a floor table in a 400-years-old building. After a while, musicians are coming. Our guide Mr. Kemal is telling us the purpose of "sıra night". According to the traditions of Şanlıurfa, a child is raised by everybody. In addition to school, children are educated at "sıra nights" in different family's house in turn. Children belong to the society in which they live and society take children's education and responsibility on willingly. Isn't is a unique point of view?
