Blue Mosque Attractions Comprehensive Review ‌ Building and Historical Value ‌‌ Majestic Appearance ‌: The Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque) is famous for six 43-meter-high minarets and giant domes with diameters of 27.5 meters. It is a masterpiece of Islamic classical architecture. Known as "one of the ten wonders of the world" ‌ 12. ‌ Internal decoration ‌: The walls of the temple are covered with blue and white Iznik tiles, with Arabic calligraphy and geometric patterns, and the sun forms dreamy light and shadow through stained glass, which is very artistic and religious atmosphere ‌ 12. ‌ Tour Experience ‌‌ Advantages ‌: Cultural Symbol: As a landmark in Istanbul, it integrates Byzantine and Islamic culture, suitable for in-depth experience of Turkish history. Staggered peak suggestion: avoid five worship times a day (such as afternoon), fewer tourists ‌ 3. ‌ Disadvantages‌: ‌ Large flow of people ‌: Hot periods need to queue for a long time, and internal congestion affects taking pictures ‌ 13. ‌ Health problems ‌: You need to take off your shoes to enter. The carpet may have a smell when it is rainy or wet. It is recommended to bring your own disposable socks ‌ 13. ‌ Notes ‌‌ Dressing requirements ‌: Women need to pack a headscarf, blue robes are provided in the temple (more popular than pink mosques) ‌ 34. ‌ Photo suggestion ‌: Fountain Square can take a panoramic view, the interior is limited by light and crowds, you need to patiently find the angle ‌ 34. ‌ Compared with other mosques ‌‌ and the Blue Mosque of Putrajaya ‌: The Turkish version is larger and has a longer history, but Putrajaya has fewer tourists and is more suitable for taking pictures ‌ 4. ‌ Tourist evaluation differentiation ‌: Some people think that its commercialization is serious (such as dense tourist groups), but others praise its faith and the beauty of architecture. ‌ Recommended Index ‌: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) ‌ Suitable for crowds ‌: History lovers, photography players, it is recommended to avoid the rainy season and peak hours ‌ 12.
