A nice trip to Haran, early in the morning by taxi from Urfa 45 kilometers south to the Syrian border. Drinking coffee, chatting to enjoy the silence ...

First, we encounter the famous Harran houses, which have become landmarks. In fact, these houses look like mud when you look from the outside. We see that it is made of the brick you enter. We can say that these authentic houses of Şanlıurfa and of Harran region are counting time to enter UNESKO World Heritage List. Let me talk about the features of these vault-style houses, which date back to 6 thousand BC, with their interesting architecture, history and experiences. Haran Houses Properties In fact, it is due to the lack of trees in the regions close to the dry and desert climate. These houses made of hand-made bricks can easily combat the weather conditions of the region with the feature of being cool in hot temperatures in summer and hot in freezing cold in winter. They cover these bricks with mud. In this way, they discovered the natural air conditioning cold to protect from the famous Şanlıurfa and Haran heat. When you go inside, you can feel the coolness that hits your face. With its history dating back to 6,000 BC, very few of these houses have survived. Most of the Harran houses, which are 960 in total and still live today, have been built in the last 200 years. Since the region was not in a cora protected area at that time, the bricks in the immediate city were collected and used in these houses. You can visit only one of these cupola-style houses with mud plaster on the brick. You can also visit the guest house designed by Harran District Governorate in accordance with its origin and culture, and have tea and coffee in the back garden.

The process, which starts with children constantly asking if there is 1 million at the entrance of the district, continues with adults waiting for money for every word they tell you. If you care a lot about information, open it, it's all on google. Thank you, we do not want information, they continue to force you. They are completely money oriented. Especially the first entrance, which belongs to the person with the name of harran house, is the business on the left. If you go, there are places that want you to go to the others, at least whatever your heart desires. Do not expect the hospitality of the Eastern people, because that thought has disappeared with this generation. We do not want special attention, we want to travel comfortably as much as it is worth, but this is impossible. Children should be imitating adults, too. The so-called officer in Harran house said that it was paid, but even though we said that we would pay the fee, but we did not want information, his insistent attitudes overwhelmed him. The fact that they do their best for the extra fee is tiring. There are ten more negative things. The officials in such touristic places must first be trained, informed and developed.

First of all, it is an interesting place that must be seen in our country. They do not charge an extra fee for visiting the houses that have become living museums. They're not greedy. They don't force you to buy anything.
