Friendship trip to Tur Abdin
Dames of the Order of St. Georges
Sometimes there are places that feel as if time has stood still there. Tur Abdin in southeastern Turkey, on the border with Syria and not far from the border with Iraq, is one such place – a landscape full of silence, ancient monasteries, and living traditions..
After our Grand Master Karl von Habsburg visited Tur Abdin in August 2020, the Dames of the Order organized their first trip to Tur Abdin in August 2023, and the next trip is planned for 26 – 30 August 2026, under the patronage of HIRH Karl von Habsburg.
Under the guidance of Ap. Prof. Dr. Aho Shemunkasho, who comes from Tur Abdin and speaks Syrian Aramaic, this will not be an ordinary sightseeing tour, but a journey of encounters and inspiration.
Group size
20 people – there are still about 10–12 places available, therefore please register quickly!
Travel expenses
Total approx. €1,350.00 – €1,550.00 per person (including flight tickets, bus transfers, accommodation, meals, and admission tickets)
