Murat Canyon, stretching for kilometers in the Diyadin district of Ağrı, Eastern Turkey, is a stunning natural site that draws visitors year-round with its breathtaking landscapes. Originating from the Murat River, one of the region’s most important rivers, the canyon is characterized by its step-shaped rock formations carved by erosion. The canyon, which spans up to 150 meters in width in some areas, offers a cool retreat during the hot summer months, attracting those looking to escape the heat. Easily accessible from the district center, Murat Canyon is a registered “Natural Site – Qualified Natural Protection Area” and features the Millet Garden, a peaceful spot for those seeking a break from the city’s hustle and bustle.
