Social Program
As a city, Batman lies at the intersection of diverse historical and cultural heritage. After the conference, we warmly invite you to join us on a special trip through the historic region of Upper Mesopotamia. The tour includes a visit to Hasankeyf, a town with 12,000 years of history, and to Midyat, known for its mix of cultures and the ancient Mor Gabriel Monastery. In Mardin, you’ll see beautiful old architecture and explore places like the Roman-era city of Dara and the Deyrulzafaran Monastery. Additionally, you might consider organizing another trip that includes visits to the impressive city walls of Diyarbakır and to Göbeklitepe, the oldest known temple in the world—an opportunity for a potentially memorable and culturally enriching experience.
