Embark on a visually captivating journey of spiritual significance through the exhibition "Makkah, Madinah, Al-Quds and Istanbul: Through the Eyes of a Believer." The exhibition showcases the exceptional work of 66-year-old Turkish photographer Orhan Durgut, a trailblazer in aerial photography in Turkey. Inspired by a transformative visit to Makkah for Umrah in 2005, Durgut spent nearly a decade capturing the essence of these holy cities. He reveals the interconnectedness of Makkah, Madinah, Al-Quds and Istanbul with special permits from the authorities, delving into their spiritual pilgrimage significance. Beyond mere documentation, the exhibition offers an intimate connection to these sacred sites, unveiling unseen layers of history through Durgut's lens. (Photography/Islamic Architecture & History)
