The Blue Mosque, known as the Sultanahmet Camii in Turkish, or Sultan Ahmed Mosque, is an historical and dramatically beautiful mosque, located in Istanbul Turkey. Its title, 'The mosque,' is because of the lapis-lazuli blue tiles surrounding the walls of interior design.

The Mosque was built between 1609 and 1616 years, during the rule of Ahmed I. just as with most other mosques, it also comprises a tomb of the founder, a madrasa (school), and a hospice. Besides still being used as a mosque, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque has also become a popular tourist attraction in Istanbul.

The Mosque can accommodate up to 10,000 people and maintains facilities for all cycles of daily prayer. The first call to prayer begins at sunrise and the last at nightfall. The Mosque is closed for ninety minutes during prayer time.

Daily visitor numbers average in the thousands. Anyone visiting not for prayer should avoid arriving during prayer times, especially mid-day, on Fridays, and within a half-hour after the ezan (call to prayer) is chanted from the Mosque's minarets.
