We took a boat tour in the old Halfeti, which was submerged after the construction of the Birecik Dam, to Rum Kale, Savaşan Village and its surroundings. It is amazing to travel on the Euphrates, to know that you are on the old living area and to pass over a village by boat... Interesting. In the middle of the tour, you can approach Rumkale and those who want can get off and visit. There are restaurants on the banks of the Euphrates. You can eat the fish called Şabut caught from the Euphrates. There is also a tea house next to the sunken mosque in Savaşan Village, if you go by private boat, you can have a tea break and drink tea here. When you go as a group with large boats, you will only join a panoramic tour, the price is cheap. You can also make a boat tour with a small boat by making an agreement with your family or by 2-3 families, the choice is yours. If you have the opportunity to go with your own vehicle, Halfeti, which is located between Gaziantep and Şanlıurfa, is 30 minutes inside from the junction, and going there on weekdays will make your trip more comfortable. The village at the end of the video is Dorucak village, which is a new village under the dam.
