If you are not muslim you can't go to the ground floor as it's now for prayers only, so you can visit pretty much only the upper gallery. Also some mosaics got covered because of reasons...

I've meant those that are OK, but covered because of their religious reasons.
It's sad to see Turkey going backwards.

Yes, while Atatürk Kemal made everything more progressive, the current president is trying to turn everything back 😢
