Mount Ararat

   

  Attraction Introduction      In 300 BC, a Babylonian priest and writer named Berosus mentioned in a book that some people had come close to Noah's Ark; in the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler Marco Polo, after leaving China, visited Mount Ararat in person. He wrote in his diary: Noah’s Ark still rests on the very top of one of the high mountains, which is covered with perpetual snow. The snow never melts, and with each winter’s accumulation, it grows thicker, burying the Ark under millennia of snow.  

     But for thousands of years, historians, archaeologists, adventurers, and people of faith have flocked here, enduring great hardships in search of the Ark that is so closely tied to our origins.

  Features
       Mount Ararat stands over 5,000 meters above sea level, with steep terrain and year-round snow cover.
