What to Expect From This Webinar

What is so great about Cappadocia? Having travelled there at the heart of the pandemic in September 2020, I found it to be the most amazing escape I had during a surreal period. Cappadocia is here to change those same old photos that are nice with your predictable travel plans. Those average beachfront selfies will take a backseat; here, you'll be floating above a surreal, beautiful landscape, and you'll wonder if you accidentally booked a trip to another planet. At least that’s how I felt when my coach dropped me off at the bus stop during my visit.
We're talking about ancient cave hotels that are so luxurious they'll make your standard five-star look like a hostel, and sunrise hot air balloon rides that are less ‘tourist trap’ and more ‘spiritual awakening (with spectacular views)’. So, if your idea of an adventure involves ditching the mundane for the truly magnificent, and maybe a little bit of prehistoric living, upgraded, then pack your bags, Cappadocia’s waiting to blow your mind.
Whilst I did manage to take a selfie on a hot air balloon, Cappadocia's true depth as a travel destination remains profoundly underrated compared to other parts of Türkiye. I wasn’t just amazed by its picturesque setting, but by the compelling history, the cultural aspects of the city, and the genuine hospitality.

This special webinar will also offer a deep dive into Sah Saray Cave Suites, Cappadocia’s first and only halal-certified luxury cave hotel, and part of HTN’s membership. Sah Saray prides itself on service shaped by Islamic civilisation and traditions, ensuring a peaceful and friendly environment for all guests. It’s also far from a faceless resort, as an authentic spirit embodies it as a family-run establishment.
The hotel beautifully blends modern comfort with Ottoman elegance, offering a luxurious experience that harmonises the past and present. Its magnificently architected cave suites, once homes to families centuries ago, are now perfectly designed with characteristics of Ottoman and Seljuk architecture. As a guest, you can indulge in private cave-carved pools and jacuzzis with stunning views or relax in a private Turkish Bath, all crafted for ultimate luxury and comfort.
What makes the Sah Saray Cave Suites a genuinely unique and breathtaking destination in Cappadocia is its ability to offer an unforgettable journey. Guests can witness the unparalleled mystery of Cappadocia, find peace and comfort, and enjoy breakfast with views of iconic fairy chimneys and Uçhisar Castle.

Another big factor is that the food in Cappadocia is an experience in itself, as it takes you through a history of Turkish flavours. The restaurants at the hotel, UzunDere Anatolian Restaurant, proudly continue that culinary tradition of 400 years, offering dishes that are not merely meals but edible stories, deeply rooted in the region’s rich heritage.
Beyond the exquisite accommodations, the hotel also facilitates various activities such as horse riding, balloon tours, and pottery making, enhancing the unique travel experience in this stunning region.
