Turkey (BURSA) - Where Muslims Don't Follow the Rules of Islam 🇹🇷

Travel Documentary Turkey. Bursa, this city embodies the heart & soul of Turkey! 🇹🇷 It's not just a city, it's a whole Turkish world waiting to be explored. We found something new and exciting around every corner! We experienced authentic Turkish culture and Turkish life!
We invite you to come with us and get lost in the vibrant bazaars, tantalize your taste buds with mouth-watering street food like Pişi, Mısır, Kadayif, Pide, Salep, Turkish Delights, and much more. And try the original Iskender Kebab that was invented in Bursa.
In this video you can also witness the whirling dervishes at a mystical Sufi ceremony and discover the ancient art of Turkish Shadow Theater. But that's not all. As we delve deeper into the daily life of Bursa, we see its traditions and religions. It's a city that is full of surprises … at night, the city comes alive with a unique nightlife!
But the real highlight of Bursa is the people. Everywhere we go, we feel the warm embrace of the hospitable locals.
Bursa truly offers a complete Turkish experience (no wonder that it was the first capital city in the Ottoman Empire). This city stayed with us long after we left, and we want you to experience it too. Come and see for yourself why Bursa is so fascinating!

37:50 Disclaimer Earthquakes in Turkey
P.S. Turkey is no longer Turkey!
It's now officially spelled "Türkiye" as part of the country's effort to establish a more powerful image on the world stage. This change was requested by President Erdogan, who wants other countries to start using the new spelling. In the summer of 2022, the United Nations agreed to the change. The reason behind this move is to distance the country from the bird "turkey" and negative connotations that may be associated with the word. This is all part of Turkey's push for a stronger and more positive image on the global stage.
Thank you for watching & commenting!
Much love xx

Travel video 12 | Filmed December 2022 - January 2023
❗️This video was recorded a few weeks prior to the devastating earthquakes that struck southeastern Turkey and northern Syria in February 2023. The loss of almost 60,000 lives and over 100,000 injuries is a tragedy that deeply saddens us. Our hearts go out to all those affected! It's important to note that Bursa, the city we show you in this video, was not impacted by the earthquakes. It's located in the northwestern part of the country, far from the affected areas.
