Sultanahmet Camii (Blue Mosque) 🕌✨ - Istanbul’s Crowd-Pleasing Master

🌟 Why It Stands Out: Among all the mosques I’ve visited, Sultanahmet Camii (aka the Blue Mosque) is the most packed with tourists—and for good reason! ✅ Iconic Blue Tiles: Over 20,000 hand-painted İznik tiles in mesmerizing cobalt hues17. ✅ Six Minarets: A rare sight (only Mecca’s mosque originally had six—this one got them by a royal misunderstanding!)7. ✅ Free Entry: Unlike Hagia Sophia across the square, this beauty costs nothing (just a small donation if you wish)3. 🕰️ Visiting Tips: • Avoid Prayer Times: Closed to tourists during daily prayers (check schedules!). • Dress Code: Women—cover hair & shoulders; men—no shorts. Free loaner scarves/pants if needed2. • Best Light: Mid-morning sun makes the blue tiles glow like magic5. #BlueMosque #Istanbul #MostVisitedMosque #TravelTurkey
