Meram district, located in the center and intersected by five major routes, namely Ankara-Konya, Isparta-Konya, Antalya-Konya, Mersin-Konya, and Adana-Konya, highlights Konya's pastoral element with its natural charms. 

Evliya Çelebi mentions Meram in his Travel Book as in the following: "Peçevi City's Baruthane Promenade, Crimea's Sudak Vineyard, Istanbul's more than one hundred and seventy-five gardens and rose gardens, Tabriz's Shah-i Cihan Vineyard are not even a grassplot compared to Konya's Meram Promenade.” 

The Historical Meram Bridge, which transmits the might and artistic vision of the Seljuks to the present, is one of the few surviving works in the district. Travelers visit protected areas such as rose gardens and recreation areas in Meram, which draws attention not only with its architectural works but also with its natural attractions.
