As Eid al-Adha approaches, the historic district of Hasankeyf in Türkiye’s Batman province is preparing to welcome both local and foreign tourists. Located along the Tigris River, Hasankeyf is known for its deep-rooted history and striking cultural landmarks.
Local tradesmen have begun holiday preparations. Muhyettin Talayhan, a souvenir seller for 12 years, said, “We are producing magnets to leave beautiful memories for our guests.” Another shopkeeper, Memet Salih İnalöz, added, “Even though this Eid may be quieter due to the heat and short holiday, we are still ready to welcome visitors.”
Beyza Tekçe, a tourist from Izmir, said her visit exceeded expectations: “Some parts are under water, but what remains is truly fascinating.”
Hasankeyf will greet visitors with highlights such as the Zeynel Bey Tomb, ancient stone bridge remains, and a traditional bazaar.
