Waterfalls hidden among the mountains, resembling travertines with their stepped flow, flowing exuberantly especially in spring.

Safety warning

In summer the water may decrease or dry up; watch out for slippery rocks. Check transport and security conditions in the area with the local authorities (governorship/district governorate, gendarmerie) before visiting.

Its story

The Beşdeğirmen (Emrud/Amrut) Waterfalls, in the mountainous area north of Kızıltepe, resemble travertine terraces with their horizontal, stepped flow. Standing like an oasis with its green setting just north of the arid plain, the area is a favorite of photography enthusiasts. The waterfall's flow varies greatly by season: the water that flows abundantly in spring decreases in summer because of the extreme heat and may even dry up. For this reason the best time to visit is spring; those who go in late summer may find the waterfall weak.
