Day before tour

Istanbul

Arrive in Istanbul from your overseas flight before the next day’s early domestic flight to Eastern Turkey. You are required to get your own hotel.

Day 1

Iğdır/Ağrı, Doğubayazıt & Noah’s Ark (half day)

You will fly from Istanbul to our eastern Turkey gateway city of Iğdır or Ağrı. You will be met at the airport and driven by the foot of the tallest mountain in Turkey, Mount Ararat or as the Turks call it Ağrı Dağı. Finally, you will be driven to the hotel in Doğubayazıt to check into your room. After a short break, we will head to the Noah’s ark site for a short initial visit. Dinner will be at a local restaurant in Doğubayazıt. We will end the day with a short meeting at the hotel to meet all the tour participants and answer any questions about the rest of the itinerary.

Day 2

Kargakonmaz Fossil Site & Noah’s Ark (full day)

We will leave the hotel mid-morning for our first stop near the Noah’s ark site. Near the village of Kargakonmaz up in the hills we will visit a spectacular fossil bed site where you will be able to document seashells and sand dollars embedded in the rock layers. If you’re lucky you might even find one laying on the ground as a free souvenir. From Kargakonmaz we will drive to the Noah’s ark site for a full day of exploration and lectures. You will hear first hand what the geophysical surveys found below the dirt at the ark site from those who were on the expeditions including discussion of data not publicly released. We will visit the original landing site above the ark site before heading back to the hotel. We will eat lunch at the site as well. Dinner will be at a local restaurant back near the hotel.

Day 3

Sağlıksuyu/Arzap aka ‘The Village of 8’ and Ishak Pasha Palace (full day)

An exciting day is in store for day number 4. We will stop for a photo opportunity in a local village near the base of the mountain. Next, we will continue to a nearby village and see up close what many believe are ancient drogue stones used by Noah. We will be visiting a newly discovered drogue stone without any carvings on it. An exclusive for this tour! Finally, see ancient nearby ruins and hear how they could be related to Noah and his family. We will do some traditional sightseeing to end the day with a visit to the Ottoman era Ishak Pasha Palace and a nearby museum. We will eat lunch and dinner at a local restaurant back near the hotel.
