Around 50 km from Diyarbakır, Eğil has been an important settlement throughout history, with a castle, caves and tombs carved into the rock. It is also home to a revered shrine known as the Tomb of the Prophets.
Boat tours on the lake created by the Dicle Dam glide past sheer cliffs and ancient rock-cut tombs, offering some of the most dramatic scenery in the region.
