Patience of Job

At length, we figured out that TomTom's spelling of Turkish place-names is not always the same as Turkey's, and, without much further ado, having made the relevant adjustments, we made our way straightforwardly into Sanliurfa, to see the Abrahamic and other sites. First up was the Cave of Job. I'll let the signage do the explaining.
This is the kind of signage we are working with, although,
most times, it gets better; "and in English too"

















Staircase down to the Cave of Job




















Cave of Job















Kiosk above Cave of Job; note curious
bystander




















Promised explanatory signage




















There is a mosque by the Cave of Job, and a beautiful
garden
















Job's Well signage




















The Well




















The Mosque




















Interior
















Glass





















Me getting sprinkled by water from the well of the cave of
Job; we would have lingered but were impatient to get on to
the Abrahamic sites
