Istanbul
Istanbul is a major city in Turkey that uniquely straddles two continents, Europe and Asia, across the Bosphorus Strait. Historically known as Byzantium and later Constantinople, it served as the capital of the Byzantine and then the Ottoman Empire, leaving a profound legacy of monuments like the Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. Today, it is a vibrant metropolis where ancient history and modern culture seamlessly intertwine.
Istanbul Governorate
The Istanbul Governorate is the provincial administrative authority overseeing Turkey’s largest city, Istanbul. Historically, the modern governorship structure was established with the founding of the Turkish Republic in 1923, succeeding the Ottoman-era administrative system. It is responsible for public order, civil administration, and the coordination of state services within this historic metropolis, which served as the capital of both the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires.
Tabuk
Tabuk is a historic city in northwestern Saudi Arabia, known for its strategic location along ancient trade routes. It is most famous for the Battle of Tabuk in 630 CE, a significant expedition led by the Prophet Muhammad, and is home to the historic Tabuk Castle, an Ottoman-era fortress built on earlier foundations. Today, the city serves as a gateway to the region’s archaeological sites and natural attractions like the Red Sea coast.
