We are planning to visit Turkey for 10 days from August 25 to September 4. Any travel tips?|||Not sure about Turkey (never been, though it's on the list), which is quite liberal, but generally the main problem during Ramadan is finding somewhere to eat and drink during the day (tourist hotels will have food available). Most shops and maybe some tourist sites are likely to be closed during the afternoon.
In any case, just show some understanding ... would you want to be thirsty on a hot day and watch someone down a bottle of chilled water? :-)
Fabulous meals to be had when the fast breaks ... the iftar meal is taken very seriously. And the shops stay open until the early hours ... can be a great experience bargaining in a souk at 2:00am! Make sure you have plenty of money for at least one decent rug.
Check out what Rough Guide or Lonely Planet have to say about Turkey itself, and the places you will be visiting.
I hope you have a great trip.
.|||There is nothing wrong with travelling in muslim countries during ramadan. Infact it might be a lifetime experience, seeing how the entire country lives through the fasting all day and the iftar at night.
TIPS: Check if the country you are visiting allows you to eat and drink during daytime in public or not. Some countries laws do not permit that and you might end up in jail.
Another tip is to live like the residents do, and would be great if you can eat at iftar time like everyone else, you will enjoy the trip :)|||The very purpose of ramazan is to awaken and rejuvenate ones spiritual mind and soul.if this trip helps you to experience that ,in a whole new way then I say u go for it,of course it means that the schedule does not tamper with ur prayer timings and its not over exhausting.it wud definitely help u to know how ramazan is celebrated in a different country,n give zakat to the ppl there...so go for it ,happy ramazan!|||This should be wonderful..most Muslim countries have great markets setup during Ramadan, Its a wonderful atmosphere particularly after sunset...Check out the wonderful local cuisines made specially for Ramadan..I am sure you will have no problems.|||Yes, it is OK and there is usually restaurants for the tourists and the people that are not Muslim, but they are rare though.|||It's ok and I'm sure of it ! Islam teaches us to be kind to all people even he's not in our religion %26lt;3 %26lt;3
And these people above me didn't have A religion? Im sure you're nothing thoo..|||You might need to keep regular fluid intake on a journey one the way there so you might have to make up for fasting.
other than that have a good time!
Ramadan Mubarak!|||i think there is nothing wrong with traveling during Ramadan since its a Muslim country but im not sure
hope that helps :)|||hi :)
its fine to travel when its Ramadan but you dont have to fast. make up for these ones you missed after Ramadan.
i hope i helped :) xx|||yeah but as ur going for at least 10 days u have to fast there, have fun (mmmm turkish food :D)|||If you're a woman, you'll surely be taken advantage of (kidnapped) and raped. That is the mentality of most Muslim men. Just look at the Oslo statistics. All the rapes of the past three years have been committed by immigrant offenders from Islamic countries.|||I suggest you travel with at least two males because Muslim men will probably have at you. - Muslim man rapes two year old little girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de5Y68JXn…|||Muslims do noy generally like outsiders
