Sirnak

Sirnak is a town in southeastern Turkey. It is the capital of Sirnak Province, a new province that split from the Mardin and Siirt provinces. The Habur border gate with Iraq which is one of Turkey’s main links to Arab countries is also on Sirnak.

Sirnak Province has some mountainous regions in the west and the south, but the majority of the province consists of plateaus, resulting from the many rivers that cross it. These include the Tigris (and its tributaries Hezil and Kizilsu) and Caglayan. The most important mountains are Mount Cudi (2089 m),Mount Gabar, Mount Namaz and Mount AltIn.
