Questions people ask
- What does skip-the-line mean here?
- You do not queue to buy a ticket. You arrive with the code on your phone and go to the entry check, which on a busy afternoon is most of the waiting.
- Is the audio guide really free?
- Yes. It plays in your phone's browser in English, Turkish and Persian, and the voices are AI-narrated rather than a person walking with you. It is not a guided tour.
- What should I know before going in?
- Shoulders and knees covered, a headscarf for women, and shoes off on the carpeted prayer level. The building closes to visitors during Friday midday prayer. Bring headphones.
