We had an idea of the location after looking at the map, and surely even we couldn't miss a huge mosque, and for once we were right! Mission accomplished! The mosque can be seen (and heard) from most areas of central Ankara. Our first sighting was of the four minarets, the slim towers that can be seen on most modern mosques.
We stepped round the corner, and my reaction was one that had become quite familiar when seeing some of the sights of Turkey. 'WOW', and it most certainly was 'WOW'.
We were welcomed by a couple of cheeky chappies, who insisted on having their photos taken...
This is typical of people in Turkey, always friendly and have a smile for you.
We continued walking to the mosque, and learnt that this was in fact the back, so another 'WOW' was in order when we saw this sight.
Even with some building work going on the sight was stunning. The inside didn't disappoint either. With shoes removed, and headscarves on we took our first step into the mosque.
A beautiful mosque, which I hope to visit again soon.
