Prayer Times
Muslims pray five times a day according to the basic tenets of Islam.The timings of these prayers are spaced fairly throughout the day, so that one is constantly reminded of Allah and gives opportunities to seek His guidance and forgiveness.
Muslim call to prayer (Ezan) is chanted six times a day.The exact time of the ezan changes each day due to rotation of the earth,revolution around the sun,various latitudes of the earth's locations and daylight savings time.Therefore Islamic prayer times were not set based on clock but traditionally set according to the movement of the sun. These timings being advised by The Presidency of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Turkey.
Blue Mosque is open everyday, all you need to be aware is praying times as Mosque is being closed to visitors during praying times.However if you are willing to pray, you don't need to worry about visiting hours or open/closed times as this is a Mosque for every Muslim prayer.
