Original audio guides for every part of the site — from the snake pillars of Enclosure A to the Vulture Stone in Enclosure D. Free. In your headphones, as you walk the boardwalk.
Tap any pin to listen.
Listen to several guides and they start working as a single story — the carvings, the builders, and the meaning of the place.
Foxes, snakes, vultures, boar and scorpions recur across the enclosures — the fox of Enclosure B, the snakes of Enclosure A, the vultures of Pillar 43. The guides trace what these animals may have meant.
The twin 5.5 m central pillars of Enclosure D carry arms, hands and belts — stylised beings, not plain stones. The guides follow the T-pillars from ring to ring.
Hunter-gatherers raised these rings ~9500–8000 BCE, before pottery, metal or the plough. The guides set Göbekli Tepe against the story of how it was found.
Same audio, but the app downloads each guide for offline use, plays it automatically when you reach an enclosure, and remembers where you stopped. The web pages are perfect for planning at home. The app is for the boardwalk.
Read how to get to Göbekli Tepe, opening times, tickets, and what to see at each enclosure.
