Rules to be followed in Museums and Historical Places
One of the most visited places in domestic or international trips is museums and archaeological sites.
Before entering, the information that describes the rules that are expected to be followed inside, which are hung in a visible place, should be read
and the specified rules should be followed.
In museums and archaeological sites, only designated places should be entered and passed; places with prohibited signs or writings should not be
entered; historical objects should not be touched; these prohibitions should be observed where film and photo shooting, flash and laser use are
prohibited.
In museums and archaeological sites, absolutely no smoking, no noise, no loud talking, no disturbing and polluting the environment should be
allowed.
The warnings of the officials and guides must be followed; the officials and guides giving information must be listened carefully and calmly.
Children should be with their families and not enter certain areas. Children must be under parental control.
Compliance with these rules is a requirement of respect for historical and national values.
Respect the traditions in mosques:
Women should use a headscarf and their arms and legs should be covered as much as possible both for men and women.
The mobile phone and the devices that can make sound are switched off.
Worldly conversations/small talk should not be spoken and should not disturb the community
Foods and beverages that smell (such as garlic, onion and cigarette) should not be taken without going to the mosque
If possible, it should be entered with socks and not with wet feet.
One must not play in the mosque.
Respect Natural and Cultural Assets:
Culture and the Environment are the most valuable things that locals can share with you. It is illegal for both the seller and the buyer to sell or buy
products made of endangered species or products and souvenirs made of historical artifacts. It is forbidden to take photographs of historical artifacts
for commercial purposes.
Respect local traditions:
Be curious, but don't accept that you can behave as you do in your own culture. Be modest when visiting a private home, bring gifts. Learn how to
greet locally. Adopt local dress codes and respect them, especially when visiting sacred places.
