Sincik is a poor rural community beyond the town of Kahta. It is reached by a single-track province road 02-03 across the Roman built Severan Bridge crossing the Cendere Creek, over high passes and between rocky outcrops. There are views of Mount Nemrut from the road. This is the lowest-income district of Adiyaman and one of the lowest in Turkey.
