Watching The Sunrise On Mount Nemrut
Mount Nemrut, 2,134 m (7,001 ft) high, is a mountain in southeastern Turkey (Adiyaman Province).It was not my first visit to mount Nemrut.The first one was in April 2008.In fact, month of April is too early to visit that place because it’s still very cold up on the mountain and plus you could see lots of snow on the mountain.One more reason for being too early is the clouds; Many people from all over the world come to this place to see the sunrise and the sunset, so it will probably be cloudy and you might not enjoy the full sunrise.
People from all over the world come to visit this place not only for its spectacular sunrise and sunset view but also to see the historical giant statues (8–9 m/26–30 ft high) which were built by King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene In 62 BC.
There are two main ways to get there to the peak point.The one passing through Adiyaman province is easier for the people who come from western part of Turkey; and the one passing through Malatya province is easier for people who come from eastern part of Turkey.

If you’re gonna visit this place I strictly suggest you to get your best cameras ready for it.Visiting this place is actually one amongst the unforgettable moments in my life.The spectacular sunrise, huge status and the historical heritage is very very impressive.You will want to take as many photos as you can…

Ah, I forgot to mention; Good time for visiting Mount Nemrut is during June through August.It is during summer but take it as a warning; you will need some jacket or coat on.You can even take some blankets with you because it is really cold up there although it’s summer time.
Get ready for an unforgettable day…

@mona Lisa; haha ..ich weiss genau was du meinst! :-)@Liisa; Mein Eindruck war eher, dass der Sohn ehencstiden hat, ob es ok ist, und sie ihm da vertrauen. Alsi ich sie angesprochen habe war ich noch allein mit ihnen und wir haben mit Gestik und Mimik kommuniziert. Aber da war schon deutlich, dass Yusuf sehr entspannt ist; er hat immer genickt und gele4chelt, und seine Frau hat sogleich ihr Kopftuch neu gewickelt. Dass dann noch der Sohn kam war ein Glfcck, obwohl ich ihn von weitem in einem Kiosk verschwinden sehen habe, und schon dachte dass er da auch wieder rauskommen muss irgendwann.. 🙂 Ich glaube mit dem Internet haben die beiden in ihrem Leben wenig am Hut…@rebelledejour;”Botschafter der Mode” …schf6n…hab fcberlegt ob ich ne neue Rubrik erf6ffnen soll die da heisst, “Stilpaten”, so wie fallen mir immer wieder im Strassenbild modische Bezfcge auf..Liebe Frau mit der gleichen Bluse; das mit den Proportionen stimmt, interessant und sehr stimmig, will sagen unbemfcht..Habe fcbrigens auch von der Ausstellung erze4hlt, der sich sehr daffcr interessiert und darfcber gefreut hat..sehr interssiert und auch gefreut hat darfcber.
From down outskirts of the mount to the peak point takes about half an hour drive.You’ve got to drive carefully 🙂 After some point, you need continue by walking and it’s about 5 minutes if you take the way from Malatya city; and if you take the way from Adıyaman city, you’ll have to walk about half an hour after after driving half an hour from down outskirts of the mountain till up there.
May I know how long you took to get up there?
Wow wow wow amazing!
