The Grand Mosque is absolutely breathtaking. 😍 It's so quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Ladies are not allowed to go to the men section and vice versa. Do cover up dressing modestly, ladies need to wear Hijab (head scarf), no exposed body parts, arms and legs, need to be fully covered, no lace or transparent clothing. Men need to cover up as well wearing plain clothing like t-shirt and bottoms. No inappropriate writing and any pictures on the clothes. It's Free to visit and they have certain timings, best to go early in the morning around 9am.

Aslında namaz saati dışında, sadece camiye girip, hem içeriyi göreyim hemde biraz vakit geçiririm diye gittim ama özelikle bir kapıya yönlendirdiler ve ufak bir kayıt işlemi ile grup halinde ziyaret yaptırdılar ( Aslında müslümanlar genelde burada ayrılıp, kendisi geziyor sanıyorum ama ben tura devam ettim). Hoca, hem mimari hem İslami detayları gayet net ve akıcı anlattı. Müslüman olarak, benim de bazı konularda farklı pozitif bakış açılarım oldu.
