Turkish Hospitality Blew Me Away | Ramadan in Turkey

[@arizonad8012]

As Serbian I can tell that we inherited hospitality from Turks.Serbia was under Ottoman Empire almost 5 centuries.And among amazing food and a bit of genes :) :) :), we did inherit their friendliness which am thankful for.

I have never visited Serbia! I would love travel there on my bike some day. Which part of Serbia are you from? The hospitality I experienced in Turkey (and in Azerbaijan, another Turkic country), was incredible. To be honest, I found almost all of the countries I cycled through to be incredibly welcoming, but those two in particular stand out 🙂

you are right, we share so many times together. Many common things between serbia/balkan and our. Historically we can be "enemy" but we are live in now. even politically we much better than past. Pozdrav i ljubavi u turska moj brad. Belgrade is one of my favourite cities in the europe, i hope i can visit one day. Take care yourself. Cao

"Komşusu açken tok yatan bizden değildir.’ is a common saying in Turkey which translates to "He who sleeps with a full stomach while his neighbor is hungry is not one of us (muslims)" and every Guests should be treated as Guests sent by Allah therefore we can't do anything but be generous, welcoming and caring. Especially the small villages around the major Cities.. these people are the most generous people you'll meet

Hey, thanks for sharing that saying, I remember one of my friends mentioning something like this while I was there! I also remember something about "Tanrı misafiri" (I had to google how to spell it just now haha). So true! The hospitality and kindness of some of the people I met on the journey was really incredible; definitely the most memorable aspect of the trip. I hope to have carried some of that with me since I left to pass on to others 🙂

This is not saying of Turkiye btw it is saying of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. We got this values from Islam.

[@ismaildoganay1268]

In my opinion, "Tanri Misafiri" which translates to "Guest sent by God", does not comes from Islam, however comes from ancient Turks, because "Tanri" word orijin is "Tengri" , Gok Tengri" and in addition there are 99 Allah's name in Qur'an, but not include "Tanri".

I really liked your video. I am a student in America and there is a presentation called "the tradition of the your country". I will present the hospitality of the Turkish people and I would like to share your video in my presentation. Thank you for explaining the hospitality of Turkish people to the world.

[@TieranFreedman]

Hi Ismail, so glad you enjoyed the video! Feel free to embed this video in your presentation (please include the channel name and a link to my channel if you do 😁). I had such a fantastic time in Turkey, absolutely incredible hospitality. I would love to hear how the presentation goes and what people think of the video. Good luck!

[@TieranFreedman]

Thanks so much! Yeah it's all my own footage 😁 So glad you enjoyed the video. Haha the only difficult things were the traffic and some of the dogs (they never miss a chance to chase a cyclist), other than that I had an absolutely amazing time there, everybody was so friendly and welcoming 🇹🇷

[@woulinx]

@@TieranFreedman Yeah i meant traffic i totally forgot the dogs 😄 i can imagine sometimes it can be dangerous as well. I like that you enjoy your time here i can see from the video 😄 you are always welcome

Where is situated that beautiful mosque on the peak of mountain

[@ike3263]

Surreal for Sure. Like a mixed European and Asian culture that's something else. Geez!!!!

[@UnforgiveNCNR]

Only thing irritated me is that desert song started playing you were riding in Istanbul. We dont ride camels and not Arabs. Thank you 🙏
