<p dir = "auto">Established in 1971, the museum is one of the largest open-air museums in Europe. You need to spare half a day for this open-air museum. Because there are 105 buildings you must see. Some of these are village houses, some are churches. If you go on the weekend, events are organized for tourists to attend.</p>
<p dir = "auto">I especially recommend you to enter the music house at the entrance, you can make music with the attendant there. There is also a shabby restaurant where you can eat inside while visiting. Entrance to the museum is only 30 Gravni.</p>

<h2 dir = "auto">Harran, Sanliurfa</h2>
<p dir = "auto">The seemingly endless Harran Plain and an ancient city witnessing thousands of years of history. It is estimated that the word Harran, which is about 45 km from Şanlıurfa, comes from the word harran-u, which means "crossroads crossing" or "caravan" in Sumerian and Akat languages. According to the legend, Harran, where Adam and Eve first set foot after being expelled from paradise, is also at the center of many prophetic stories. Harran, which is an important commercial crossroads between Anatolia and Mesopotamia, has been under the rule of powerful states such as Sumerians, Assyrians, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans throughout history. When you come to Harran, Harran Castle, Ulu Mosque, Harran University, Harran Mound, Harran Houses are among the ruins you will see.</p>
<p dir = "auto"></p>
<p dir = "auto">Conical domed Harran houses, which are found in only 3 places in the world (Turkey, Italy and Syria), impress with their architecture. Rose oil, straw, terracotta and egg whites were used in the mortar of these conical domed houses, which have survived to this day thanks to their internal and external plastering with mud. The houses, whose height reaches 5 meters from the inside, and which have the feature of keeping cool in summers and warm in winters thanks to their architectural structure and materials, are getting narrower from the bottom up. Harran houses, whose tops are left open, thus both receive plenty of light and act as a chimney, evacuating the smoke or hot air that accumulates inside. Harran Cupola Houses, which were registered as an archaeological and urban site in 1979, are definitely worth seeing!</p>

With its four minarets made of white marble, it is decorated with many precious stones such as emeralds, rubies, pearls and diamonds.</p>

<p dir = "auto">The marble structure is decorated with 28 kinds of precious and semi-precious stones. Turquoise was brought from Tibet, jade was brought from China, and marble, which was the main material in the construction of the building, was brought from Rajasthan. Unfortunately, during the Indian revolt in 1857, a large number of precious stones were removed by the British. At the end of the 19th century, the former governor of India, Lord Curzon, initiated the restoration of the mausoleum and completed it in 1908.</p>

<p dir = "auto">Although there are legends that Shah Cihan wanted his mausoleum to be made of black marble, no evidence of this was found. It is likely that the fictional writings of the European traveler Jean-Baptiste Tavernier form the basis of these legends.</p>

<h1 dir = "auto">Mumbai Travel Guide</h1>
<p dir = "auto">If you happen to be in Mumbai one day, I hope the Mumbai Travel Guide here will be of use to you. Mumbai is a very colorful city, just like everywhere else in India. The Portuguese first gave the city its old name. It was not Bombay, it was called Bom Bahia at the beginning, but later the British translated this name into their own language as Bombay.</p>
<p dir = "auto">In the following years, it was disturbed that this name reminded the British, so in 1995 the name of the city was changed to Mumbai. This name comes from the Indian goddess Mumba. Although Mumbai seems to be connected to the mainland, it is a very crowded island city built on the island of Salsette. It has a population of around 20 million. With this population, it is currently the most populous city in India.</p>
<p dir = "auto"></p>

<p dir = "auto"></p>
<p dir = "auto">When it is very crowded, transportation, food, work, everything becomes a problem, of course. For example, there is a special food delivery system established in the city for those who rush out of the house on their way to work in the morning. This service, made by people called Dabbawala, is quite interesting and dates back to ancient times. We can call this system a food distribution network that started in the 1890s. Dabba means carrier, wala means lunch box and these people have been carrying these food containers in Mumbai since the 1800s. The system has been working in the same way for a long time.</p>

<p dir = "auto">When this confusion is over at noon, you can walk around a little more and go towards India Gate. Behind this gate is the famous Taj Mahal Hotel. This door has a symbolic significance. On February 24, 1948, the last British battalion passed under this gate while leaving India. It's the door to freedom. However, there is an irony behind this door, which was completed in 1924, if you ask me. Because the first purpose of it was dedicated to King George 5 and Queen Mary who visited the country. Afterwards, it was the last gate the British passed through.</p>

The Tata family, one of the richest families in India, had this hotel built. No one other than hotel guests is allowed to enter. If you remember the hotel had suffered a terrorist attack in 2008, unfortunately many people died here.</p>
<p dir = "auto">It is a very beautiful hotel with a swimming pool in the middle of a square-shaped structure with an open courtyard and rooms around it, as magnificent inside as it is outside. Although not everyone can get into it, they can take good pictures from the front of the India Gate.</p>
<p dir = "auto">The area where the Taj Mahal Hotel is located is right by the sea. There are aesthetic boats where we can take beautiful pictures at sunset, birds and friendly, smiling people in local clothes. Another interesting place you can visit in the evening can be the Haji Ali Mosque. It is an interesting mosque, which was on land during the time the sea was receding, and then re-immersed in the water when the sea rose, and a place where you can take beautiful photos.&nbsp;</p>

<p dir = "auto">There are settlements on the left and right in the street of the city that goes down to the Ganges (locally called Ganga). The streets are like a maze and quite narrow. In these streets, life flows as fast and loud as possible with pedestrians, motorbikes and street vendors. Life is a mess and it is a photographic paradise filled with women walking around in colorful clothes, street barbers, street vendors and even street dentists. However, it is not easy to take photos in this mess.</p>

<p dir = "auto">In India, when the ignition of any motor vehicle is turned on, the horn is used almost as if it were connected to an automatic. "Blow Horn" is written on the back of all trucks. Everyone moves forward without pressing the brake and continues on the road by pressing the horn all the way. So much so that they continue on their way without stopping in small accidents. The same is true for narrow streets. There are small vehicles called motorbikes, bicycles and tuk-tuks that continue at full speed by pressing the horn.</p>

<p dir = "auto">When you go down to the edge of the Ganges river, you get rid of the horn sounds and watch the rituals in the river. Every day here, twice a day, people enter the Ganges and bathe on specially made steps to welcome the rising day, bid farewell to the setting day, and get rid of their sins. These steps are called the Ghat. During this bath, they greet the day by filling small bowls with Ganges water and pouring it towards the sun. If you rent a boat very early in the morning, you can photograph the rituals in the Ganges and the city in a misty and mysterious state with the first lights of the day.</p>
