I prayed in Haghia Sophia for free. That was just in October 2024. They said something in Turkish and I understood Namaz and I was like okay. Same with my wife. She is a Latina and had Hijab on. No questions asked
Brother, Assalamu Alaikum, hope you are well. I often watch your videos, and your voice is amazing-it's always good to hear you. By the way, I was really sorry to hear about the bad experiences you've had. But when your friend has been here for 10-15 years, didn’t he tell you that Hagia Sophia is open for Muslims for prayer timings. And yes, it's of course free of cost. You can visit Hagia Sophia five times a day for prayers. And yes, the upper portion of Hagia Sophia is separated for the museum, and the charges are quite high, so without the museum, all Muslims can visit during the prayer timings."
The sign does say only for Turkish citizens so even if you are a Muslim you go to the foreigners line. However you have to go up to the Turkish citizens line and tell them you are Muslim and want to pray. They will let you in but not all foreigners know this nor is there any sign saying all Muslim foreigners can go in for prayers. You still have to pay for the museum and other parts of Hagia Sofia though which I think are not worth the absurd fee being charged.
I'm living in Türkiye 🇹🇷 since last 3 years and I've seen this inflation journey of Türkiye 🇹🇷 when I came, Türkiye 🇹🇷 was really much affordable in every sense
Same experience at turkey airport i was connecting flight from one gate to another gate i was late to boarding so i take buggy transfer he takes me 100 pounds in 2019 i was shocked itne se transfer k he was turkish national
Finally someone is being honest, .. I have lived in Turkey and it’s been ridiculously expensive.. everything you said was 100 percent correct. great video
WELCOME TO TURKEY 🇹🇷 GOT TO HEAR FROM YOU AFTER A LONG TIME IAM INVESTORS RESIDENT IN ISTANBUL SINCE 6 YEARS AND ALHAMDULILAH SO FAR ALL GOOD ONLY IF U R IN SAFE HAND N SAFE GUIDANCE
If you wanted to visit all of these museums there's a museum pass for around 100 euros. You can purchase that, and everything would have been free for you. I live in Turkey. I know that this country has become expensive these days if you compare it with past years but there are ways of optimisation as well. You have to be very smart like you told in the video, to dodge these kinds of stuff. Also, Istanbul (European side) is the most expensive place these days. However, if you go to outskirts of Istanbul it'll be really cheap. And I guess it's the same everywhere, like if you go to Dubai mall it will be expensive but if you buy the similar kind of thing from dera dubai it'll be cheaper but I agree with you it has become really expensive specially in these recent years.
@@salmanalamkhan761 brooo you are so right, i tried the find the all in one pass online but i could not find it. Maybe it was all in turkish thats why or maybe they stopped selling it. Agar woh 100 wala pass miljata toh bohat asaan hojata. Plus you are right that all the major places have become expensive but the turkish european side is the most expensive place i have visited in a while. I get that dubai mall is expensive but its a very famous mall so its obvious but if you roam around dubai city you get a lot of cheap options but dude turkish european side main toh har jaga hi loot macha k rakhi hai. But thanks for the guidance next time agar kabhi gaya toh definitely 100euro wala pass dhoondnay ki koshish karunga.
Dubai was not that expensive before. Global village was free. But now every thing is expensive. When I went to Cairo I saw that the re was student discount for museums , pyramid etc irrespective of which country they belonged.
@@iffahmir186i am a guider in turkey from pak if you want to visit pray area of aya sofya go on pray time rhey will just ask you where you have to say you are going for pray in all over turkey does nt chrg for any mosque they just chrg for the gallery side of ayasofya and a meuseum of ayasofya is seprate 60 70m away from mosque
Bhai you need to correct one thing. You were in the wrong cue for prayers in Aya Sofia. The main entrance on the front is for Turkish citizens, and there is another entrance for other nationalities.
Thanks for the tips but the tactics you have mentioned are pretty common in any tourist place you go. You always bargain and walk away, you will be amazed you much they drop the price then.
One thing I always do is always check the prices on menus and on price tags. No prices then its a no go for me. And when it comes to food which you have eaten then you cannot even cancel the sale.
Though it’s written but nobody stops you or check if you are citizen. Went there couple of times after this rule. They didn’t stopped any male. They also didn’t stop any women who were in Muslim attire.
Same happened to me. I went from USA and had actually lived in Turkey long time ago. I visited Turkey just a few weeks ago and had a disappointing experience of Istanbul. Way too crowded and too many tourists even in November. Everything was absurdly expensive and a tourist trap. Prices were 5 to 10 times the actual value and even street food was over priced. I didn't buy anything just because i know actual prices and the shopkeepers were not willing to reduce prices to reasonable rates. I know bit of turkish language so was able to navigate in the city without getting scammed or anything. Those discos and bars scam are very old ev3n when i was there in 90s.
You are right I was in Istanbul last month in alfath dinner was 650tl and same food near Amininu they changed me 3100 tl after that I never been these restaurants
@@fathimarifat9236 baklava ka toh yaad nhi but it was on the asian side and as for the sweets i bought them from bim and makbool you can find it on the asian side because i bought it from the asian side and i think they have a branch on the european side as well.
Turkey on the earth is most cheaper then EU ...u landed on small old airport . ..IST is an international airport and your experience would be different
Just back from turkyie after completing my ten day visit turkyie cheaper then any European country very hospitable people cheap and delicious food one can have very nice food in 20/25 pounds transport is very very cheap and so is stay all historical places especially Mosques architecture and anteriors are mesmerising and not a single penny is changed from a Muslim from which ever country you belong Yes we had to pay 30 pounds per person to visit topkapi palace and believe it took us full day to visit that wonderful palace its museum makes you astonished and emotional as well I feel one day visit of the palace is not enough to explore it fully Other then Istanbul one must visit Bursa/Konya/ sought if possible In short turkyie is a wonderful place to visit

Actually your wrong, in prayer times everyone is allowed for namaz , but your allowed only in prayer area , but for the museum you have to buy ticket
A taxi driver took me to a restaurant for one meal. I ate one meal alone which cost 3200 lira.
We offered juma prayer at Aya Sofia masjid back in 2023 free of cost without any ticket.
Yes but now there is ticket for every foreigner.
Still free for Muslims
