- EP66: Tips and Etiquette When Visiting a Mosque // Istanbul, Turkey
Join us in this episode for tips and etiquette when visiting a mosque for the first time. As we've been in Istanbul, Turkey many of the most historical and beautiful buildings throughout the city are mosques so we quickly realized there was a lot to learn. Being new to Islamic culture it was important to make sure we weren't doing anything offensive while visiting since these spaces are both historical spots and active places of worship. We hope these tips help you during your visits and inspire you to learn more about this beautiful culture and the people of Turkey.

Turkey is my favorite country I ever visited
Thanks
3:06 actually we enter places of worship with the right foot and leave with the left foot,
because we consider worship the utmost epitome of human conscience and purity, and places of worship as such,
we enter such places with right and leave with left. Best wishes.
Awesome. Thanks for telling us. We will be there next week.
What a thorough and very clear and respectful overview of these important cultural tips for visiting a mosque. Great job and fabulous videography as well. I really enjoyed getting to tour the architectural details through your eyes. Do you know why the tradition is to lead with your right foot?
Hey! I think leading with the right foot and stepping over the threshold is a Turkish thing. Our guild told us about it at the first Mosque we visited. I asked other Turkish people about it and their response made me believe it was a Turkish tradition that is also done at homes. We had our guide fact check the video before we published it also and he said all the info was accurate. I'm curious to see if anyone local comments on it to clarify.
That was very beautiful and you should have at least one million viewers.
Like 👍🏼 from Yemen
Aw this is the best comment we’ve had all month thank you so much 🙏🏻 😊
Very nicely explained and is on point
Thank you very much for the comment. Honestly, we are relieved to get feedback that the information is accurate. Have a good one!
Awesome video guys! Such great information and beautiful shots! Had no idea about the right foot first over the threshold. Our favorite was Süleymaniye as well! So stunning! Loved the shots you got inside there!
The right foot over the threshold thing may be specifically Turkish, not exactly sure. It was something that our guide told us about. We asked our Turkish people about it and they made it sound like it's done at Turkish homes also.
So pretty place 😍 hope one day we can be there also.
Hey guys! Thanks for checking it out. The Turkish Mosques we featured are amazing places full of history and culture. Not to be missed!
Imagine a shoese smothered in doggy doo-doo.I should like to think that it make perfect sense to remove it before entering any establishment.........🤣
Is there a significant reason for the spirals outside each mosque?
Hi Debra, the structure you are talking about is called a minaret. The slender tower, has a balcony from which a muezzin calls Muslims to prayer, at least it was like this back in the old days. Now they typically have speakers attached to the minaret with either a recording of the prayer being played or a muezzin calling the prayer into a microphone from the mosque. Thanks for watching!
It is very Cambodian to remove your shoese and hat before entering any home or any place of worship........😁
It amazes how many US friends I have that don't remove their shoes. I always removed mine, that's the first thing I do when I come home.
Best men win that tuk
Not sure what you mean by that, but thanks for watching!
Why are you wearing a veil in public? And you don't really need to wear a headscarf to enter a mosque in Turkey. It is just a recommendation, they can't refuse you entry. Well at least that goes for Turkish citizens, not sure about how they treat tourists.
