🇹🇷🕌Mevlana Museum: All About Rumi!

#2024wish In 2023, I got to visit the city of Konya in Türkiye!🇹🇷 Why is Konya famous? Because it is the place where the poet Rumi lived and concluded his life in! 👳🏽♂️🇹🇷 In Türkiye, Rumi is known under the name “Mevlana”. At first when we arrived, we weren’t sure who everyone was talking about. But soon we realized that this was the poet Rumi!📜 In the museum, you can see the resting place where Rumi’s body is laid, which is a large box surrounded by beautiful adornments. 🪦 Also, there are the graves of others close to Rumi, and many of Rumi’s personal artefacts and literature! 🧥 One of the COOLEST parts of this museum is a box which belonged to Rumi, which has little holes in the display case (see the photo). The reason for the little holes is because if you put your nose near them, you can still smell the oil that Rumi wore as perfume! 🤯🍶 This museum is such a gem, and was one of the highlights of our trip to Türkiye! Konya is a beautiful city, with lots of local culture and excitment. If you’re in Türkiye, definitely swing by Konya! ♥️♥️#localguides #historicallandmarks #turkey

Conya, also known as the city of Mew, was born here because the famous Tajik thinker, poet and philosopher Meu Rana was born here. is the site of the current Meurana Museum, known as Mevlana Dergah (Tokyo). It was once the rose garden of the Seljuk Palace, by Sultan Aladdin Kaikobad ( Alaeddin Keykubad) was presented as a gift to the mother of Meurana, Sultanu-Ulma Bhaddin Wilid. The Meurana Museum was converted from a mosque. It is a devout shrine of the Conya people. It is also the most famous building in Conya. The top of the mosque uses bright green tiles, also known as the Green Top Mosque. During the period of the Selju Empire, there were 170 religious schools nationwide, but the center was in the Green Mosque of Conya. The mosque is actually a comprehensive school. It takes 1000 days to go to school here. The school offers 18 majors. Students choose different majors according to their own preferences, such as music, reading Qur'an, spinning dance, etiquette, Persian, Arabic and Turkish. If you want, you can learn more languages. . Today, the Persian language spoken by Iran has some vocabulary and the same language, but the Turks do not understand. The Kurdish people of Turkey have their own language and Syria speaks Arabic. In addition to this, I still learn how to cook and tailor. The school has 18 rooms, one room for two or three students. It is not easy to go to school here. Students need to think about whether they are suitable for three days.

Traditional markets centered around Konya.

"Türbeönü çarşıları" means "markets near the tomb" in Turkish. These are types of markets that can be seen in various cities of Turkey. Typically, these markets are located in the historical city centers of Turkey and are situated around landmarks or historical buildings. These markets are places where traditional Turkish culture, handicrafts, clothing, fruits, vegetables, and a variety of other goods are sold, attracting both locals and tourists. They offer a place to experience the local history and culture, with a variety of shops and stores providing an interesting shopping experience. In particular, try the Konya-style long Turkish pizza, pide. The cheese kebab is truly a work of art.

Alaaddin Hill Park

#springblossom The city of Konya has done impressive things with its green spaces and parks. In all honesty, the areas that border the tram throughout the city are some of the most beautiful that I've seen in the world. The city should be proud.A great place to sit amongst locals and sip çayi in one of the cafés. Well connected with a couple of tram stops and after tea you can head over to Kulture Park for amazing ice cream. I love the tulips.

🇹🇷The bustling Mevlana Plaza, Konya!🕌

#2024wish In 2024, I would be so happy to visit Konya’s Mevlana Plaza again!! 🕌📜 Right beside the Mevlana Museum, it’s the perfect place to grab a meal and all the souvenirs you could want! 🥙🍶 On Mevlana Plaza stands one of Konya’s famous Mosques, Selemiye Camii, with plenty of space around it for crowds of local or tourists. 📸 Around the perimeter of the plaza lie plenty of restaurants, where you can try some of Konya’s local dishes! (swipe for photos!) 🤤 Also, you can buy souvenirs to commemorate your trip. Many of the souvenirs have pictures or quotes from Rumi (a local poet and philosopher, known by locals as “Mevlana”). 👳🏽♂️📜 I highly recommend Mevlana Plaza as a stop on your trip to Türkiye, and hope I can visit again in 2024! ♥️ #turkey #historicallandmarks #localguides

I accidentally asked what the name of the tour guide restaurant meant, and what he said next made people laugh and cry. Lokma is the meaning of eating a meal, hane is the place to eat, the original restaurant name is called "restaurant", really funny. Because it is very important to eat in Conya, let the children get married and not say marriage, let all the friends eat rice. Conya said that he would eat a bite when he was eating, not to eat. Whether you are a fan of Turkish barbecue, this restaurant is definitely worthy of appreciation. It is my favorite category from the environment, tableware, dishes, taste and so on. If you have seen other Middle East travel notes, I find that most of the meals in the Middle East are negative. The restaurant's sauce is the most delicious. This is the first time I found fennel in the seasoning, mixed with parsley and small pepper, much like the Chinese food when cooking, sandwiched in the cake has a taste . Turkey also eats pita, as long as it is not like Israel to put falafel, thank God. Barbecue and Turkish crepe is a kind of cake similar to the Italian thin pizza, which is quite delicious. The last dessert for everyone, not particularly sweet, beautiful tulip cup of black tea, and traditional Turkish coffee, this coffee is usually difficult to drink, it has a lot of coffee residue deposited on the bottom of the cup, and therefore, the Turks Divination with the remaining residue, by observing the shape and pattern, predicting good and bad, similar to the Rosa ink stain test in psychology.
