Blue Mosque Guided Tour

Meet us at Dsign Cafe, where we'll walk a few minutes to the Blue Mosque. Explore one of Istanbul's top attractions with us.

After gathering, we'll enter one of Constantinople's most beautiful and famous monuments: the Blue Mosque. The complex offers various areas to explore, beginning with a stroll through the beautiful courtyards. As we traverse this area, we'll discuss the history of the so-called Sultan Ahmet Camii, including how it earned the name "Blue Mosque."

Throughout the tour, we'll observe over 20,000 hand-crafted ceramic tiles that adorn the interior, contributing to the mosque's distinct blue appearance. We will also examine the mosque's religious significance in the Islamic world and the architectural techniques used in its construction ordered by Sultan Ahmed I from 1609 to 1616.

Next, we'll focus on the pillars and minarets of the Blue Mosque, which feature flowers and gold. This will provide a breathtaking view!

After 1 hour and 15 minutes immersed in the beauty of the Blue Mosque, we'll conclude our tour back at the starting point.
