Tips for traveling to Turabdin by Arim Salci who spent 7 days there alone

The limestone mountains of Turabdin (ܛܘܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ) lie on the upper reaches of the Tigris River and are home to indigenous Assyrians, most of whom belong to the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch.

In the south, near Mardin, the mountain range drops steeply to the Mesopotamian plain. The Tigris Breakthrough forms the eastern boundary, and to the north the Assyrian region of Turabdin borders the Diyarbakır plain. The western border is roughly formed by the Karacadağ volcanic massif.

Turabdin is predominantly hilly and looks more like a plateau. An exception is the steep slope near Mardin. It is crossed by some fertile valleys.

At the time of the Assyrian Empire, Turabdin was called "the Kashiari mountain".
