Mus City which was settled on
the upper Murat - Van Region of Eastern Anatolia between Korni Brook
and and Car Brook has a great history root that goes back to Urartu
Kingdom.

sports it does not really have enough infrastructure to support the
tourism potentiality of the area, however the work to support to the
tourism potentiality of this area is on the process at time being.
Traditional
Houses of Mus are usually consist of the 2 flat building rising behind
the front yard of the places. Because of the shape of the streets and
the settlement style give an outlook of a traditional typical Turkish
City , and it takes a shape within the frame of the necessities of the
geographical situation and the climate conditions. The walls made out
of Straws, Lime and Hair of Goat, roofs made out of mud, soils creating
those houses were defeated by the technology nowadays. It is possible
to see some of those houses in city center which are on the edge of
being destroyed.
Viticulture was one of the important incoming
factor of the city between 1800 and 1900, however only Mongok ,
Mehmetcan and Incebel vineyards are actively being used at the moment.
The
famous tulips of Mus were mostly produced on the 7th century and
decorated the gardens of Ottoman Empire's pavilions. Those tulips

less and less by the other agriculture that spread all over the area
and the wrong way of the harvesting put the tulips of this area in a
