The Midyat Guesthouse is one of the many stone houses built centuries ago using Midyat’s traditional stonemasonry. In those times, guests were hosted in spacious rooms and courtyards, and could enjoy panoramic views of the city from the terrace. Today, visitors can come to experience these enduring traces of the past.
