Şanlıurfa, where Harran University is located, is one of the oldest cities in Anatolia with its history dating back eleven thousand years from today. Located on the region called the Fertile Crescent in archaeological sources, Şanlıurfa has a vast cultural accumulation since it is located at the intersection of rich Anatolian culture and Mesopotamian culture.

The real importance of Harran, which was also the capital of the Umayyads for a period, stems from its being an important science center since before Islam.

Harran continues to attract attention today as a tourism destination.
