My trip to ISTAMBUL with my brother:
We can see the Souleymane mosque which dominates the city. The lighting is breathtaking. A little further to the left, the Saint Sophia museum overlooks Sultan Ahmet hill. In the background is the Blue Mosque, which illuminates the sky with its six minarets. A little further down the Topkapi Palace which was the residence of the Ottoman Sultan.
We cross the sea to arrive in the district of Besiktas, very popular football club in Istanbul. Direction Aksaray district where our hotel is located. It is a district of specialized tradesmen especially in the textile. You can find everything at unbeatable prices. The restaurants stay open all night. I'm dying to see the blue mosque but fatigue takes over.
After a good night's sleep, head to Sultan Ahmet district. Coming down from the tram, you arrive directly in a small park. On your left is the Saint Sophia Museum and on the right the Blue Mosque. The decor is breathtaking as both monuments are impressive. Arrived inside the Blue Mosque, I realize that I have never set foot in such a beautiful mosque. The paintings, the ceramic tiles, the carpet amaze my eyes. All tourists enter the mosque but when the muezzin makes the call to prayer, only Muslims stay inside.
