Its story

Şeyh Ali Semerkandî was a 15th-century Sufi known for his scholarship and spiritual guidance; Şeyh Yunus bin Ahmet Kuzvirânî, whose tomb is in Kızılcahamam, was his student. The tomb lies within a complex of about 14 dönüm (decares) in the Çamlıdere district center. On the grounds are a house and a small museum arranged to reflect the life of the period, as well as a centuries-old oak tree. The tomb receives many visitors from Ankara and neighboring provinces, especially on weekends and religious holidays. A trip to Çamlıdere can be combined with Çamkoru Nature Park.
