This sacred place, located in the Eyüp Sultan district of Istanbul, has been where sultans girded their swords for centuries. It was rebuilt in the 1800s after it was destroyed in an earthquake. It is popularly known as Eyüp Sultan, whose name comes from Abu Eyyüb El-Ensari, the companion of our Prophet. His Majesty Eyüp Sultan was martyred in the siege of Istanbul in 668-669. According to his will, he was buried at the point closest to the walls. Years later, his grave was found and a mausoleum was built over it. In 1458, a mosque, madrasah and soup kitchen were built next to the tomb by Fatih Sultan Mehmet. Eyüp Sultan is an important place to visit not only for Istanbulites but also for those coming from all cities. Our guests can visit the Tomb of His Holiness Eyüp Sultan and shop in the market with our guide. If they wish, our guests can go up to Pierre Loti hill by cable car or minibuses. After our free time here, we start our return journey and say goodbye to you, our valued guests, by dropping them off at the points where we met to meet at the next Gazali Tourism organization.
