   The walls are a great wonder in themselves, which make this city (said to be one of the oldest cities in existence) a fantastic destination for the curious.
   
   The River Tigris (dicle) runs alongside the old city and nurtures a wealth of agriculture in the surrounding planes, which brings a yearly watermelon festival, among other things.
   
   The lush green gardens along the banks of the Tigris are a perfect place to stop and relax, and the ten-eyed bridge is a master of design from hundreds of years ago.
