One of the most sacred places for Muslims, Eyüp is a friendly place, and holds the tomb of one of the close friends of the Prophet Mohamed.
Opposite the tomb is a mosque, around the courtyard are some very high arches with typical Islamic decorations, but the main draw of Eyüp is the tomb of Ayyub al-Ansari. After taking off your shoes, you come in through a curtain, and in an adjoining room, you see the tomb. People are immersed in deep prayer, then halt at the footstep of Mohammed on display in a small glass box in the wall. They leave the room walking backwards, so as not to turn their backs on the tomb. After visiting this monumental building, it is a good idea to walk up the cemetery. Many Muslims want to be buried here, which explains the vastness of the cemetery. Furthermore, you also get goods views over the city. Higher up, you can find Pierre Loti café, named after the French novelist who lived in Eyüp.
