Dominated by snow-capped Mount Ararat — in legend the landing place of Noah's Ark — and home to the 17th-century Ishak Pasha Palace, Doğubayazıt is a highland town in far eastern Turkey, close to the Iranian border. It sits on the E80 transit route and serves as a stopping point for travellers crossing between Turkey and Iran, with the palace and the mountain providing reasons to pause longer.
