According to Genesis 8:4 the Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat on the 17th day of the 7th month. Rather confusingly, in Genesis 8:5 it says the tops of the mountains only started to appear after 10 months. Ignoring that, the question becomes where are the "mountains of Ararat"? Abrahamic tradition says this is Mount Ararat in Turkey. Josephus, the Jewish historian, places the Ark on an Armenian mountain - which doesn't exclude Mount Ararat. The ancient Jewish Book of Jubilees specifies mount Lubar in the mountains of Ararat.

Genesis 8:4 says that Noah's Ark came to rest on "the mountains of Ararat" (now in Eastern Turkey, near the borders of Armenia and Iran.)

Another Answer:

The Bible says that the ark landed on the mountains of Ararat, the location of those mountains remains somewhat of a mystery. According to most religious traditions the mountains are located in Turkey. It is apparent from the biblical narrative however that it must have been on the mountains east of Babel, which later became known Babylon. Genesis ch.11:2 tells us that the people traveled from the east and found a plane where they decided to build a great city and the tower. That would indicate that they originally settled in the mountains east of Mesopotamia, most likely located in the modern day Iran. Scholars of ancient history unanimously agree that the earliest of human civilizations started in the eastern part of the fertile crescent.
