Historical Night-view Tour and Star-gazing
Take your love on an enchanting night-view city tour, visiting all the historic sites and enjoy the star-gazing experience in the clear November sky
- Start your evening with a delightful meal at a traditional Turkish restaurant. The atmosphere flirts with a quiet drama and under the soft light, every glance feels intimate. Then, guided by local tour operator, begin your journey through Şanlıurfa's historic sites, such as the iconic Balıklıgöl and Harran. After a tour filled with enchanting tales and mesmerising sights, spend the rest of the night under the blanket of stars. The weather permits for a great star-gazing experience. Just lie back and lose yourselves in the celestial spectacle above.
- While the night might be a little chilly, it's easily warded off by the shared warmth and a handy blanket. Nothing says romance like huddled bodies and intertwined fingers under the clear, star-studded sky. Feel the magic of the night as you whisper sweet nothings and make wishes upon shooting stars.
- To top the experience, we recommend hiring a local tour guide who specialises in astronomy. Witness constellations you've never seen, listen to enthralling stories about the stars and let them guide you through an unforgettable night.
Preparation steps:
- To begin with, you will need to book a local tour operator who can guide you through the various historical places in Şanlıurfa. These tours generally last for 2-3 hours. Coordinate with the guide to ensure the tour is timed perfectly to end with the beautiful sunset at Harran.
- Next, check the local weather to ensure clear skies for a spectacular star-gazing experience. Make sure to pack a blanket, it might get a bit cold in the night. Keep warm clothing and a flask filled with hot drink to feel cosy while star-gazing. Also, hire a local astronomical guide who can enhance this experience by showing you stars and constellations
- Lastly, pack a light snack (preferably a Turkish delight) for the night. The beauty of the stars might keep you engaged for longer than you plan.

Some tips:
- To make the most of this experience, you should start the tour in the evening. The illumination of the historical sites makes the view even more exhilarating. As the city tour and star-gazing are outdoors, dressing warmly is advised. Don't forget to carry a comfortable mat to sit/lie on while you gaze at the stars.
- When hiring the astronomical guide, confirm they are bringing their telescope and other star-gazing equipment. If possible, try to do some basic research on the stars and constellations that will be visible on the night of your date so you can impress your partner with your celestial knowledge.
- Finally, keep the snacks handy during your star-gazing. The experience can leave one famished as it is quiet an engaging and unique activity. Some beverages from the flask and light blockbusters will perfectly complement the star-studded celestial show.
