                  A woman makes flat bread in tandoor, a clay oven in Hatay, Turkey, on July 17, 2024. With a 5,000-year history dating back to the Seljuks, the tandoor remains a vital tradition in Central Asia, Anatolia, and beyond. In Hatay, tandoors are placed above ground, unlike the underground ones in Eastern Anatolia, and are widely used alongside stone ovens to bake the traditional 'Tandır Bread'.
