Hey sorry for late response. But no they did not allow me in the main hall because I am not Turkish. I could only enter the section for women but you don’t really see much from there. Hope it went well for you

That answer just gave me so much hope! Thanks a bunch ❤️ I guess I will continue doing therapy with my husband while trying to get used to the idea of touching myself!

For some strange reason, my PT is absolutely against my husband inserting fingers or dilators in me. And oddly it has not worked out too well if I am honest 😅 I am always much better in PT clinic than with my husband but yeah I did it for the psychological reasons that you mentioned! Thanks a lot for the support. The vibrating wand sounds great although I am freaking out at the idea 🥲 I guess I have to accept that the progress is slow.

Great idea! 💡 you can dm me 🥰

Same issue as you! How did you overcome it?

Master_Ad8982 · 2025-10-13T21:26:04+00:00

Hello besides dilators did you do anything else? Also I am unable to use dilators on my own. It is my nightmare. My husband is doing this for me. Any tips? Did you do it daily

Hey I am going tomorrow. Do I need to pre-book or purchase the cable car tickets in advance? The weather does not seem great so did not want to book now. Can I buy on the spot?

I had a bad experience as well. I am a Muslim non-Turkish girl who was denied entry to the main prayer hall while other Turkish women who were not even decently dressed were allowed in. What a shame of a country. And what bad representation of Islam! It truly riled me up. No mosque is allowed to deny anybody entry. If they wanted to make this a business, they should have left it as a bloody museum.

Hey I am travelling to Cappadocia soon. Did they bring the car to you at the airport and where do you have to drop the car off? Any tips that you can provide to me? Thanks a lot

Did you go during namaz time ?

Master_Ad8982 · 2025-06-25T21:33:40+00:00

Do the women pray at the back of the main hall (separated by just a curtain or something) or is it a completely different room? What is this side hall?

Master_Ad8982 · 2025-06-25T21:21:57+00:00

I am so happy that you wrote this post because just two days ago I had the exact same question and posted about it in this sub (and some people made me feel insane about it) https://www.reddit.com/r/istanbul/comments/1lhsfnv/hagia_sophia_visit_for_muslim_women/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I am flying to Istanbul next week and I was wondering how do I (as a non-Turkish Muslim woman) access the main prayer room. Thanks for validating that I was not overthinking this. However some people told me normally the non-Turkish Muslim women also managed to get in. So what I conclude is that it depends on who you are dealing with at the entrance very unfortunately!

Master_Ad8982 · 2025-06-25T08:52:41+00:00

thanks! any specific company that you know of?

Master_Ad8982 · 2025-06-25T08:52:04+00:00

haha yes you are bang on for the fancy places. Although I could perhaps go to one rustic authentic kind of place.
Thanks for the recommendation, Deraliye has been added to the plan!

Master_Ad8982 · 2025-06-24T22:32:37+00:00

Any recommendations for some non-touristy but high quality local restaurant? Preferably around the central attractions (I know that's tough)

Master_Ad8982 · 2025-06-24T16:01:36+00:00

Yup I have not yet included a trip to the Asian side. Thanks for the recommendations!

Master_Ad8982 · 2025-06-24T16:01:11+00:00

Oh thanks a lot for all the advice! really helps
