Elazig Halal Travel Guide

A small city in eastern Türkiye, Elazığ has a population presence of roughly 200,000 people. A city about 1,000 above sea level, Elazığ is surrounded by mountains, lakes, and rivers. While rapidly developing, it is a traditional town and is relatively conservative. Firat University is changing the culture of the city.

Nearby hilltop Harput forms the historic core of Elazığ. The modern city was started in the plains below during the rule of Ottoman Empire|Ottoman sultan Abdülaziz (r. 1861–1876), and was coined Mamuretülaziz ("flourished by Aziz"). This was later shortened to Elaziz, out of which the current name derived.

Travel to Elazig

Buy a Flight ticket to and from Elazig

There are few daily Flights to and from Istanbul and Ankara.

Travel by train to Elazig

Direct trains (the Vangölü Express) run twice a week from Ankara to Elazig, taking 19 hours. There are couchettes and a sleeping vehicle but no buffet. The main stops along the route are Kayseri, Sivas, and Malatya. This train continues to Tatvan (7 hours), with dolmus connections to Van. For details see Turkish railways website at tcddtasimacilik.gov.tr, but beware that the timetable and the online booking via eHalal Hotels system give different days of running for this service. A high-speed line is under construction from Ankara eastwards. This will greatly reduce journey times when the first section to Sivas opens, perhaps in 2018.

The Firat Express runs daily between Elazig and Adana, taking 11 hours, via Malatya, Gölbaşı and Osmaniye.

By bus/shuttle van

From nearby Malatya, you can catch shuttle vanes which depart from Doğu Garajı ("eastern bus stop") just off the intercity highway, northeast of downtown near a large roundabout at the end of Sivas Caddesi Street.

Book a Halal Cruise or Boat Tour in Elazig

Those more adventurous and having more time to spare may prefer the remoter and slightly longer route from Malatya, via the towns of Battalgazi and Baskil and which involves taking a ferry when crossing the Karakaya Dam lake, at about the mid-way between Battalgazi and Baskil. There are ferries three times a day—at 7:30AM, 11AM, 3:30PM—from the harbour on the Battalgazi/Malatya side (and the return voyages from Baskil/Elazığ side at 8AM, 1PM, 5PM), but as the ferries depart as soon as their vehicular capacity is full (and do not wait for their schedule), show up at least half an hour before the scheduled departure. They also accept foot passengers. Crossing the dam lake takes around 20 minutes.

Get Around

It is a small city and can be explored quite easily by foot. There are also numerous shuttle vanes and city buses.
