She highlighted the similarities in communal gatherings, family meals, and the spiritual atmosphere, while noting unique customs in each country. Turkan explained that in T&uuml;rkiye, Ramadan comes alive with bustling streets, festive lights, traditional sweets, and communal iftars that bring communities together. While Istanbul&rsquo;s Ramadan has become more modern due to tourism, many other cities still preserve traditional practices.

Historic mosques like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque play a central role, with people breaking their fast outside before attending prayers. The government also supports inclusive participation by providing free tea alonside educational activities.
