We've been wanting to head to our next stop since we arrived in Turkey... Hasankeyf. It's scheduled to disappear under water with the building of a new dam on the adjacent Tigris River. So we wanted to make sure to get there before we'd have to go scuba diving to reach it!
As you can see there are many houses and rooms carved into the rock walls.
We climbed to the top for an overhead view.
The old was and new bridge is the only way to cross the Tigris River for over 100km.
A view back across the river... can you see the houses on the top of the rock cliff?
