Ağrı is an eastern Anatolian province dominated by the iconic silhouette of Mount Ararat (Ağrı Dağı), Turkey's highest peak at 5,137 m and the legendary resting place of Noah's Ark. The district town of Doğubayazıt serves as the main tourism hub, home to the breathtaking İshak Paşa Sarayı palace, while the province spreads across high plateau, Urartian ruins, volcanic landscapes, and a rugged frontier with Iran and Armenia.

Wellness travel tips
Get the most from your wellness experience.
Diyadin thermal waters are geothermal and naturally warm (35–42°C); limit pool sessions to 20 minutes to avoid overheating.
Bring your own towel and flip-flops to the Diyadin Kaplıca; facilities are functional but not luxury.
Altitude (Doğubayazıt sits at ~1,960 m) naturally lowers blood oxygen; drink extra water and reduce caffeine.
The Ağrı City Hamam serves men and women on separate days or times — check the schedule before arriving.
High UV at altitude: apply SPF 50+ even on cloudy days when spending time outdoors.
