Gaziantep, Turkey - Experience the charm of the shining pearl in southeastern Türkiye

Gaziantep in Turkey, a city full of historical charm and modern vitality, is a shining pearl in southeastern Türkiye. It not only has a rich cultural heritage, but also has mouth-watering cuisine and unique shopping experiences. Arriving in Gaziantep, the first thing you cannot miss is the Zeugma Mosaic Museum. Here is a collection of the world-famous mosaic work "The Eyes of a Roman Girl". When you look at it from different angles, the expression of the eyes seems to change accordingly, which is breathtaking. In addition, the museum’s third-floor cafe is a great place to take photos and check in, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire ancient city. Besides the museum, the Grand Bazaar (market) in Gaziantep is also a must-see.

Whether you are a history lover, a shopping maniac or a gourmet, you can find your own fun here. Come to Gaziantep and start an unforgettable journey!
