@nickhamman5: If you want to experience authentic Turkish food and culture in South Africa, you need to come here – the Nizamiye Complex in Midrand, where you'll find the largest mosque in Southern Africa, built in 2012. The design was adopted from the 16th-century Ottoman Selimiye Mosque, located in Turkey. The main hall is an impressive 31 meters high and 24 meters wide, adorned with a handmade carpet floor mirroring the ceiling's design, in a space that can host up to 6000 people at a time. Surrounding the mosque is a complex of shops and restaurants, a microcosm of Turkish life and culture transplanted onto South African soil. As you wander around, you'll encounter a labyrinth of shops and restaurants where the Turkish community gathers to partake in the flavors of their homeland. The air is infused with the aroma of traditional Turkish cuisine, inviting you to indulge in an unforgettable culinary voyage. If you want to try traditional Turkish food, purchase authentic Turkish products, or simply marvel at the mosque, you should do yourself a favor and pay the Nizamiye Complex a visit. #mosque #islam #turkishfood #TravelSouthAfrica
