Alhamdulillah, I’m back here in Istanbul, after my first visit in 2019.

This time I bring along my wife Elok, reinstating our annual anniversary trip, which had been halted due to Covid.

On first day we visited Topkapi Palace, which I didn’t get chance to visit on my previous visit.

Such a beautiful palace, which vibes remind me of Masjidil Aqsa (perhaps due to same Ottoman architectural influence).

But more stunningly is its holy relics collections, which keep artifacts from prophets of three religions: Judaism, Christian and Islam.
