Turkey Tour From UK

Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al Ansari

While the tombs of Istanbul are numerous, there are several that stand out in importance and are highly recommended to visit. The greatest of these is the grave of Sultan Eyüp. Located outside the once formidable walls of Constantinople, this is the resting place of Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al Ansari (ra), the Companion of the Prophet ﷺ. He came as an old man with the first wave of Muslim armies that reached the city but died outside its walls. Legend will tell you that his grave was lost to the ages only to be rediscovered during the Ottoman siege of 1453, but one thing is certain, few places in the city are so blessed. It was here that sultans were enthroned, and where every journey to and from the city started and ended, and to this day, Eyüp remains one of the most important landmarks of Istanbul where thousands of people make ziarat (visitation) daily.

You will have free time here to take photos and we hire Alp‘s or Hatuns ‘ clothes for you complimentary so you can take photos as well. We will also visit the Tomb of Sheikh Edebali who was the mentor of Ertugrul Ghazi and is considered as the spiritual founder of the Ottoman Empire. We also visit Orhangazi Mosque which is the first Ottoman Mosque with a lead dome built in 1392. After Sogut we will continue to Inegol where we will visit the tomb of Turgut Alp who was one of the greatest of warriors and a very close confidant of Ertugrul Ghazi and later his successor, Osman I. He ruled the area for 36 years and was buried in Inegol as well.

After Inegol we will continue to Bursa City which was the first capital of the Ottoman Empire. We will visit the Tophane area, where Osman Ghazi and Orhan Ghazi, the founders of the Ottoman dynasty, were laid for their final rest in two ancient Byzantine structures, which underwent drastic alteration or were even completely rebuilt after the earthquake of 1855. The tour ends by visiting Bursa Grand Mosque; built in the Seljuk style, it was ordered by the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I and built between 1396 and 1399.
