A Spiritual Walk: Discovering Islamic Culture Turkey — #1
1/10

Overview of the tour in Istanbul

Islam is the predominant religion in Turkey, and to help visitors from non-Islamic backgrounds understand its essence, we’ve designed this exclusive walking tour.

The route includes two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Suleymaniye Mosque and the Pantokrator Monastery. The tour concludes in a local, residential area where practicing Muslims live.

On this tour, we aim to cover:

Daily and weekly practices of Muslims within the mosque context
Social life in local practicing Muslim communities
Sufism, the mystical branch of Islam
We will visit the following sites in succession:

- The Sinan Pasha Ottoman Training School
- The Suleymaniye Mosque Complex
- Historic Ottoman Mansions in Suleymaniye
- The Aqueduct of Valens
- The Old City Butcher Bazaar
- Zeyrek (Pantokrator) Monastery and its Panoramic View

This activity includes:

  • Suleymaniye Mosque
  • Zeyrek Mosque
  • The Aqueduct of Valens
  • Suleymaniye Cultural Info Center
  • Sinan Pasha Tomb
  • Visiting the Islamic Cultural Centers
  • Turkish Tea
