Abraham Pool Lake

Historical place in Urfa, Turkey. It is known by the people all over the world that this is the place where Prophet Abraham was thrown into the fire. Upstairs, there is the Urfa castle and the catapult. Catapult is the two pillars used when Abraham was thrown into the fire, and according to the history, Abraham did not burn and instead the surrounding where he fell turned into a pool. It is a valuable place in terms of faith tourism. You can feel strongly the history here. You can also buy bait to feed the fish there. There are plenty of green areas in this area where you can sit and relax. No entry fee so feel free to come back as many time as you want! 🍃🌿🌟🌤 #roadtrip #urbanexplorer #summervacation #templeblessed #ancientlandmark #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

A lesser-known destination in Turkey, known as the City of the Prophet, is well worth a visit

Manici Hotel, Sanliurfa - Special Class

Turkey's Sanliurfa. It is called the hometown of Abraham and Job in the Bible, and is a place where Christian and Muslim pilgrims visit constantly. It is called the city of the prophets and is also known as the city of gastronomy. It has been a major route connecting Mesopotamia and Turkish Anatolia since ancient times, and it was a center of logistics and a place that decorated the brilliant pages of Eastern Christianity. The place in the photo is the birthplace of Abraham. There is a mosque and the surrounding area is a restaurant and tourist attraction, so it is crowded with people day and night, and the night view is also beautiful. It is hot like a African blizzard in the summer, so I recommend coming in the winter. Even in November, it is short-sleeved. #PleaseWinter
