About Istanbul

Istanbul is a fascinating destination for Muslim travellers, where centuries of Islamic history meet vibrant modern city life. Straddling Europe and Asia, the city is filled with magnificent mosques, historic palaces, lively bazaars, waterfront neighbourhoods and excellent restaurants. Halal food is widely available throughout Istanbul, while mosques and prayer facilities are found across the city, making it particularly convenient for Muslim visitors.

A halal-friendly holiday in Istanbul offers an incredible mix of culture, food and sightseeing. Visit the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, explore the Grand Bazaar, take a cruise along the Bosphorus or discover traditional neighbourhoods away from the busiest tourist areas. From kebabs and pide to baklava and Turkish breakfast, there is no shortage of memorable food to enjoy. With its rich Islamic heritage, welcoming atmosphere and endless things to see and do, Istanbul is one of Turkey’s most rewarding destinations.
