Mardin is another Turkey, unusual and unexplored: an ancient settlement near the Syrian border, in the interfluve of the Tigris and Euphrates, has long been a crossroads of cultures and civilizations, and to this day different peoples of the Middle East — Turks, Kurds, Arabs, Assyrians — get along on its small territory. The museum city seems to have descended from the pages of Arabic fairy tales: residential buildings climb up the steep slopes of a rocky hill crowned with a powerful fortress, narrow streets are decorated with ancient temples, slender minarets and luxurious mansions. On the main street of the Old City, as in the days of the Great Silk Road, the oriental bazaar is noisy, whose appearance has hardly changed since the 16th century.

The museum is beautiful, but we had little time, we visited it very quickly, it would be better if you took your time, it is a little neglected, it would be better if they see people as ambassadors who want to learn culture, not customers, I really liked mardini and its ethnic structure, as if time had stopped here.
