Tour to The Turkey

When to go: Spring and autumn. Middle April to early June, and September to October are the better times to invalidate the acute summer heat and crowds.

How long: get your time. The courtyard is a beautiful place to sit and absorb the atmosphere. Walking roughly the outside to make a evaluate of the building, and then look into the interior. It is worth getting back while it is busy so you are able to look the mosque at work, with hundreds or thousands of people executing their ritual ablutions. A night time visit offers a marvelously another view.

Planning & Inside Information: The mosque is blocked to non-worshipers for about half an hour for the five daily prayers. Lunchtime prayers on Friday, the Muslim holiday, are most active of all, and the mosque may be tight for an hour or more. Dress modestly, although shawls can be offered by the mosque. The building is really cold in wintertime, so get through warm and wear additional socks since you want to take out shoes to go in.
