A COLORFUL
RAMADAN
MUST-DOS: ACTIVITIES
Ramadan events in İstanbul are centered on the Historic
Peninsula. There are various concerts and art events as well
as dining opportunities until the meal before dawn.
Different kinds of books in Arabic and English can be found
at the book fair being held in the courtyard of the Blue
Mosque.
Beyazıt Square comes alive with concerts, exhibitions
worthy of the Ramadan spirit, and Koran chants by the
most famous hafiz from around the globe.
One of the most important locations for Ramadan events
is Feshane in Eyüp. Feshane delights visitors with local
products, street dining, candy sellers, a theme park, and a
household goods fair.
People assemble to break the fast together in the large iftar
tents set up in almost all major squares around İstanbul.
Most shopping centers hold various events throughout
Ramadan to join in with the excitement of this holy month..

When it comes to the few cities genuinely suiting
the spirit of Ramadan, İstanbul stands out as the
most appealing combination of faith, spirituality,
culinary traditions, shopping, and weather. A TRIP
TO İSTANBUL IS THE BEST RAMADAN GIFT
OF ALL AND NO WRAPPING IS NEEDED.
Travelling so often to İstanbul, I have discovered that
Ramadan is the best time to visit this city, which has
always attracted commerce but earned its lasting
fame with religion. During the sacred month, the
queen of the Orient, embellished with its magic
parade of slender minarets, shows off its age-old
mélange of dedicated energy by day, gracious
hospitality for iftar, religious devotion in the early
evening, and great entertainment for the whole
family following the last prayers.
