Fatih among Aromas and Ruins: Arab History and Culture in Istanbul

 An intimate tour through a corner of Istanbul that smells like Damascus, sounds like Cairo, and holds secrets of Byzantium.
 

Do you want to discover a different Istanbul, far from the classic tourist routes? 

In this tour, I will take you through Fatih, a neighborhood that vibrates with the blend of Byzantine past and the contemporary life of Arab and conservative communities. Here, among mosques, hidden churches, and humble markets, you'll feel like you're also traveling to Syria, Palestine, or Egypt… without leaving Turkey. 

What will you experience?

• We will walk among Byzantine ruins, hidden Orthodox churches, and traditional mosques.
• You will get to know the local Arab community: how they live, what they eat, how they pray, how they dress.
• We will do a mini gastronomic tour through shops 
•  Arab food and more...
