Ladies-only departures, sister rooming
Ottoman mosques and a Cappadocia sunrise, travelled with sisters
The same route as our best-selling Turkey trip, run as a departure for Muslim women only. The travelling group is women, the guides are women wherever you want them to be, and the rhythm of the days is set by that rather than by a mixed-group compromise: unhurried mornings, proper time in the mosques, and evenings that are comfortable for everyone.
The route as we actually run it — including the quiet days, which are there on purpose.
Sultanahmet at an easy pace: the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar, with a women-only hammam afternoon and Friday prayer together.
Fly to Kayseri. Sunrise balloon flight, Göreme's rock-cut churches and a cave-hotel night, with a village mosque for evening prayer.
The Mevlâna Museum and Rumi's legacy, then a quiet afternoon — deliberately slow after Cappadocia.
Travertine terraces, Hierapolis and thermal pools, with time in the afternoon to rest rather than rush.
Kaleiçi harbour, Hadrian's Gate and the waterfalls, a free final afternoon and departure transfers.
Every included meal is halal, at Muslim-owned or halal-certified restaurants checked before the group arrives. No pork, no alcohol, seafood and vegetarian backups at every stop.
Prayer times are printed on the daily schedule and mosque stops are written into every day. Women's prayer areas are confirmed in advance at each mosque we visit.
Dates are guaranteed once four travellers are booked. Ask us about private departures on other dates.
Muslim women only, including women joining on their own. The travelling group and the trip leader are women; male staff are not part of the travelling group on these dates.
Yes, for a supplement. Sister rooming with another traveller is standard and most people choose it.
The route is the same; the pace and the group are not. Days start later, there is more time in the mosques, and the evenings are built for the group rather than around a bar.
