Halfeti (Kurdish: Xelfêtî)[2] is a municipality and district of Şanlıurfa Province, Turkey.[3] Its area is 609 km2,[4] and its population is 41,662 (2022).[1] It is near the east bank of the river Euphrates, 120 km (75 miles) from the city of Şanlıurfa.
Most of the villages were submerged in the 1990s under the waters behind the dam on the Euphrates at Birecik. The town was therefore moved to the village of Karaotlak.
Halfeti was the subject of an internet urban legend wherein the town was the only location on Earth where black roses grew.[5]
