About Istanbul
Istanbul — spanning two continents — is one of the greatest cities of the Islamic world. As the capital of the Ottoman Empire for nearly 500 years, it accumulated extraordinary mosques, madrasas, and palaces. The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia (converted back to a mosque in 2020) face each other across the Sultanahmet square, while Süleymaniye Mosque towers over the Golden Horn. Tens of millions of tourists visit Istanbul's mosques every year.
From Istanbul, the Qibla (direction of the Kaaba in Makkah) is 151.6° from true north (SSE), a great-circle distance of about 2,405 km.
