📝 About Kurban Bayrami 2026
Kurban Bayrami, known internationally as Eid al-Adha, is the most important religious holiday in Turkey, commemorating the Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. The four-day holiday involves the ritual sacrifice of an animal, typically a sheep or cow, with the meat divided into three portions: one for the family, one for relatives and friends, and one for those in need. Families gather for prayer at mosques, followed by festive meals and visits to loved ones, and the holiday creates one of Turkey's largest domestic travel surges as millions return to their hometowns. The holiday embodies the Islamic values of sacrifice, charity, and community, and the sharing of meat with those less fortunate ensures that the spirit of generosity reaches every corner of Turkish society.
