Travel Tip: NOAH, SHOULD WE DOCK HERE?

3 stars
Published on Feb 22, 2008 by SKOT1 for Eastern Anatolia

What I liked at this border town 20km from Iran? Nothing. It`s completely filth, full of trash and wasted plastics, and at the lateral parts of the road where the cargo lorries park, the ground looks like an oil field. No kidding.
Being a border town proudly display the characteristic uninteresting architecture, where almost every door is a shop trading with those that come and by.
Actually, after the shock I liked the open view of Agri Dagi also known by the biblical name of Ararat, the supposed dock of Noah`s boat.
To climb the mountain it`s necessary to pass here for last provisions and details. In case of going to Iran, the idea is to pick up any kind of wheels that goes there including the army. In my case, the car had a problem, so I had militaries hitch hiking with me. Nice protection.

Yikes! I'm not sure if I'd like to go to Ararat. Think your idea of going with the military was a sound one.
