It has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Csa in the Köppen climate classification) but is influenced by the continental climate due to its inland location. Gaziantep is well known for its dessert baklava. Gaziantep is the ninth biggest city in Turkey.
Gazantiep has had terrorist attacks in 2012, May 2016 and August 2016.
The city was badly damaged and many people died in the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake.
