    Great trip! Only being in Istanbul on Sunday we didn't get to do the grand bazaar so that was a let down.

    Is this tour have the site of Noah's ark?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2026

      There is an opportunity to view this on Day 6 when you travel from Van to Kars. However it is not a guided tour. Visit the Van Citadel this morning, built by the ancient kingdom of Urartu. From there transfer to the previous capital of the Republic of Ararat, Dogubeyazit. Explore Ishak Pasha Palace then take in views of Mt. Ararat and across the mountains where the possible resting place of Noah's Ark is said to be located. Continue on to Kars for a brief orientation walk, then settle in for the evening with free time.
