Özet:

As a result of sustainable settlements, the formation of cultural and physical layering and structuring is a common feature of the Anadolu cities. The nature of this layering formed in the historical process, as well as urban settlements, can reveal the character of rural settlements. In the context of this study, two examples of local-specific rural architecture with historical and archaeological remains have been studied, a whole of which has come to the present day. The first of these is the ancient city of Shuayb, which is believed to be the city where the Prophet Shuayb lived and died, in Sanliurfa, which is called the "City of the Prophets" and the second is the ancient city of Dara, which is believed to be the city where the Holy Prophet met with Moses; the second is the ancient city of Dara, which was established as a border gardens city in the early Byzantine period and most of the remaining from the first period with its defence, water structures and necropolis areas. The objective of the study is: these two ancient cities, established for different purposes, although they are located in the same region, are to build rural and cultural tourism values, architectural, comparing similar and different aspects, and allowing them to be promoted to the tourism of the country. The method of study, in addition to the scan of literature, is to detect and document in the field. Therefore, it is intended to investigate and record the very few known city of Shuayip. After all, the sharing of the findings achieved will increase the potential of these cities in terms of tourism, thus being included in the tourist routes, thus tourism will contribute economically to the region and the country.
