Exploring biblical sites in Türkiye will lead you to discover many ancient places that the inspired authors of the Bible also once walked in the earth.

Biblical Sites Bucket List: Turkey Edition
This is just, I wanna go so bad. I just wanna be there. This amazing blog post follows Apostle Paul's footsteps through ancient Ephesus and it's stunning how some of the structures he passed throughout his day are still standing! 🤯
Biblical Sites: Ephesus, Turkey
In the 4th Century, Cappadocia became known as the “Land of the Three Saints.” These caves feature churches, murals, and history of the monks who took pilgrimages through the area. It's a must see.

Exploring Crete 🇬🇷
To know that you can still walk on stones that our biblical ancestors did while writing letters to billions of readers of the Word they would never see… it just…
I'm just in awe of these experiences and this list is just so good!

Exploring Israel 🇮🇱
While it might not currently be safe to travel here (due to political and religious unrest), you can still dream and check out this epic list.
Can you believe that Jesus was here?
Garden of Gethsemane
Can you imagine walking around the very sea that Jesus walked for the majority of His ministry? 🤧
Sea of Galilee
This.
Pools of Bethesda
I'm just really at a loss for words.
The Garden Tomb
Okay, maybe this is it, maybe it isn't. Y'know, one of the wells that Abraham dug that Isaac had to redig up. But the interesting thing about it is that regardless of whether or not Abraham actually dug this well, the well is still here. And this mus...

I mean, ok: so in 2 Chronicles 32 we have Sennacherib trying to do his thing on the children of Israel (exterminate them.) King Hezekiah didn't want the Assyrians to know they had water in plenty (the Gihon Spring) and rerouted it west of the City of...
Hezekiah's Tunnel (Siloam Tunnel)
The location of where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. Impressive.
Qumran Caves, Dead Sea Region
Sometimes, when we go into new spaces, we don't think about the little things that we're used to that could affect our stay while there. This guide is genius in even giving detailed descriptions on what to wear while visiting the Mount of Olives, which is helpful so that you (especially women) don't have to waste any time during your tour of the ancient city.

Exploring Jordan 🇯🇴
To think, this region has experienced so much change and so many pilgrimages. Be sure to book a visit when you safely have the chance.
I just cried even looking this up. It's overwhelming thinking that this is where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist right before He began His ministry to do what He did for us. I'm just so overcome with emotion. I want to be baptized here so bad....
The Baptism Site Of Jesus Christ, Juwafat al-Kafrayn
This is the site of where Moses stood to see the Promised Land before he passed away. It's also where the prophet Jeremiah hid the Ark of the Covenant (crafty) in a cave. 😏 STUNNING! There's a 4th century church there and plenty of mosaics created b...
Mount Nebo, Madaba
Exploring Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Some things have been hidden from us, as far as where biblical sites are ACTUALLY located, because of what it would mean if they were exposed. Saudi Arabia is home to one of those places.
I mean, you just can't make any of this up. The real Mt. Sinai (and not the one that is propped up for commercial purposes) has tooooo much evidence STILL STANDING THOUSANDS OF YEARS LATER for the site to not be it. Everything that has been in darkne...

Exploring Christian History 🌍
These are places to go that aren't directly related to ancient biblical history, but are a part of the history of fellow members of the Body of Christ. Which is just so cool!
The birthplace of the infamous novel and film, The Hiding Place, what is now a museum is the sanctuary Corrie ten Boom used to resist Haarlem's Nazi occupation in 1942. Her family's shop was a refuge for Jews and resistance members seeking shelter from the ongoing genocide. If you have...
The Corrie ten Boom House - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go
I feel really blessed to live in a nation where we have easy and open access to biblical monuments like this. I mean, some of our fellow believers would not make it to see tomorrow if they openly stepped foot in a museum like this in their countries....
Museum of the Bible - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go
This has been something I've wanted to do for a while now, about a couple of years, but I didn't know which one I wanted to go on. I'd love to take this cruise and visit these ancient ruins and scenes from biblical history. It's such a dream.

The Creation Museum is in Petersburg, Kentucky, and essentially a tool for evangelism that was orchestrated by the Answers in Genesis ministry. It's the same ministry that gave us a life size Noah's Ark, also on this list. The exhibits here, however, are kid friendly and open up the imagination to what biblical life, giving you physical glimpses into history. Pretty cool.
Creation Museum
One of the best destinations (so I'm told) to go and visit for Christians who wish to visit and experience the actual dimensions (as taken from the Bible) of Noah's Ark.

Documentaries of Biblical Expeditions
These are expeditions done by historians, archeologists, and fellow Christians that have inspired me to one day follow the paths our biblical ancestors once walked.
Listen, this will bring chills down your spine. It's the phosphorus for me. And when you get to that part of the documentary, you'll know what I mean.
Sodom & Gomorrah
TAKE. ME. TO. IRAN. YESTERDAY. 😭 Ohhh, to have been on this expedition with him! How cool is it to know that we are still living around places where biblical history took place hundreds of years ago? This was just brilliantly done and makes the Word...
Bible Evidence Unearthed at Nineveh!
I haven't finished this, but finding out about the Royal Library of Ashurbanipal, aka the oldest royal library in the WORLD that's located in what was once the ancient city of NINEVEH, led me here and it's such a treat.
