Would anyone really need to be told this when booking a holday in an Islamic country?

Next you'll be telling us you were shocked to discover there were very few places selling alcohol

When I was in Egypt for the first time, someone tried putting a petition around the pool to have the call to prayer stopped because it was disturbing them.

I politely advised them that maybe Benidorm would be a suitable holiday venue in the future.

My Mum said the same thing when we went to Marrakech. I of course knew about this and packed ear plugs

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

There was a feature on Breakfast this morning about a village where the new people have complained about the church bell.

OP, you'll get used to it. The call to prayer comes often.

I could only find the time for Turkey on a quick internet search:

Here are the names (in Turkish and Arabic) of the calls/prayers and sample times for the ezan in mid-May in Istanbul:

Imsak (Fajr; 03:38 am): two hours before dawn, to awaken the faithful for prayer (pretty much the middle of the night!)

Günes (Tulu; 05:42 am): Dawn, before the sun appears

Ögle (Zuhr; 13:12, 1:12 pm): Midday, when the sun passes the zenith

Ikindi (Asr; 17:07, 5:07 pm): Afternoon, when the shadows cast by objects are equal to their height

Aksam (Maghrib; 20:21, 8:21 pm): Sunset, when the sun has disappeared below the horizon; beginning of a new day in the Islamic calendar

Yatsi (Isha; 22:08, 10:08 pm): When the last light of day has disappeared

Blue Mosque Silhouette, Istanbul, Turkey

Sultan Ahmet (Blue) Mosque, Istanbul.

Then 5-1/2 hours' sleep before the next call...

Perhaps adjust these times to your local setting?

are you actually challenging anything I said in my post or just wining on looking for an arguement? if he done a basic search on the Thomas cook website he'd find its full of pictures of bars.

it is a secular state. you've already made a fool of yourself saying he'd be shocked they dont sell alcohol, when there's bars on every corner and off licences on every row of shops.

call to prayers at 4am is not something generally known at all.
