İstanbul’un ve Boğaz’ın en zarif simgelerinden biri olan Ortaköy Camii (Büyük Mecidiye Camii), gün batımının altın ve kızıl tonlarıyla birleşerek büyüleyici bir manzara sunuyor. 1853 yılında Sultan Abdülmecid tarafından Nigoğos Balyan’a yaptırılan bu zarif eser, Barok mimarisinin Osmanlı estetiğiyle buluştuğu en görkemli örneklerden biridir. Geniş pencerelerinden süzülen ışıkla Boğaz’ın sularına yansıyan silueti, hemen arkasında uzanan 15 Temmuz Şehitler Köprüsü ile kentin tarihi ve modern yüzünü aynı karede birleştirir. Ortaköy sahilinde yürüyüş yapmak, Boğaz esintisi eşliğinde çay yudumlamak ve bu eşsiz gün batımı manzarasını seyretmek, İstanbul’da yaşanacak en unutulmaz deneyimlerden biridir. 🇹🇷 🇬🇧 Standing as one of the most elegant landmarks of Istanbul and the Bosphorus, the historic Ortaköy Mosque (Grand Mecidiye Mosque) presents a breathtaking view beneath the golden hues of sunset. Built in 1853 by Sultan Abdülmecid and designed by architect Nigoğos Balyan, this masterpiece is one of the finest examples of Ottoman Baroque architecture. Its ornate facade and tall windows reflect beautifully upon the waters of the Bosphorus, perfectly framed alongside the iconic Bosphorus Bridge. Strolling along the Ortaköy pier, enjoying a warm cup of tea by the waterfront, and watching the sunset over the strait remain among the most unforgettable experiences to enjoy in Istanbul.

Hamidiye Camii in Kırşehir, Turkiye, is a truly unique mosque unlike any other. Its interior features a ceiling painted like the sky and a carpet resembling grass, inspired by Qur’an 2:22, which describes the earth as a dwelling and the sky as a canopy. Designed by an Azerbaijani architect, the mosque draws visitors from around the world for prayer, reflection, and admiration. Its wooden minbar is crafted to resemble tree trunks, blending naturally with the overall theme. Originally built in the 1910s during the Ottoman era and named after Sultan Abdülhamid II, the mosque later fell into disrepair, was demolished, and rebuilt in 2016. With its sky-and-garden imagery, Hamidiye Camii is often said to evoke the gardens of Paradise, making it a serene place for contemplation and worship.

Evil Sunrise: 😈🌅 These images were captured in the coastal city of Al Wakrah, Qatar, on the morning of December 26, 2019, when an annular eclipse was in progress.

The government of The Maldives will ban Israelis from the Indian Ocean archipelago, known for its luxury resorts, as public anger in the predominantly Muslim nation rises over Tel Aviv’s war on Gaza. The president’s office said on June 2 that the Cabinet decided to change laws to prevent Israeli passport holders from entering the country and to establish a subcommittee to oversee the process. It said President Mohamed Muizzu will appoint a special envoy to assess the needs of the Palestinians, and to launch a fundraising campaign called “Maldivians in Solidarity with Palestine.” Israel’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein said in response that the Foreign Ministry recommends Israelis avoid any travel to The Maldives, including those with foreign passports, and for those currently there to consider leaving. Nearly 11,000 Israelis visited The Maldives last year, which was 0.6% of the total tourist arrivals.
