Dhaka

Dhaka is the capital city of Bangladesh and is an extremely populated city. According to popular belief, it got its name from a tree called "dhak" that grows in the region. While descending for landing, you can easily see the greenery of the trees in question from the airplane windows.

It is a place where extremely rainy, humid and hot weather awaits you during certain months of the year, especially due to the monsoon season (April-September). Having a visa to enter the country does not mean that your transactions will be short and fast. Particularly, the speed of performing the transactions of the Immigration (Customs Police) personnel on entry to the countries of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan is extremely slow and at a level that can drive people crazy, so to speak. In the event of any verbal quarrel accidentally, the duration and result will be unpredictable, and in the light of the experience gained, it will be the most appropriate course of action to show patience without any interlocutor.

If you can get out of here safely, this time, other customs officers will be waiting in line with the x-ray device. If there is no material on you and your luggage that will cause problems, extremely humid and hot weather awaits you outside. Otherwise, the prolonged customs procedures will affect you very negatively. By the way, I would like to point out that the more completely and correctly you fill in the forms distributed to you during your flight, the more comfortable you will be. Otherwise, additional loss of time and increased nerve coefficient will be with you.

After leaving the terminal, the transfer section will start and this process will take place in line with your preference. It will not be possible to give too many details about this section, since the hotel and the transfer process for us are covered by our company. All you need to know is a city in the malaria region, and this risk is higher, especially during sunrise and sunset. Since the doors of the vehicles are waiting open, many mosquitoes are waiting for you when you enter. For this reason, the precaution I take for myself is to produce a solution by wearing a long-sleeved shirt and jacket, regardless of the season and temperature.

In normal times, you will have to choose short-sleeved clothes. In this city, which has a time difference of 3 hours with Turkey (UTC+6), the planes land in the morning according to the schedules and rest after breakfast.

After waking up at noon, it is possible to go to the city center. In addition to the taxi to the city center, there is transportation with covered engines that you can encounter in many countries (India, Pakistan, Thailand, Nepal, etc.) in this geography called “TUK TUK”. However, the most important difference of the TUK TUKs here compared to other countries is that they have iron bars. There are many beggars in the city center. These beggars approach them and make various requests when TUK TUKs stop due to the heavy traffic. Due to this measure taken to protect passengers, the TUK TUKs in this country are significantly safer than those in other countries, and their appearance is therefore different.

Bangladesh is the place where many well-known branded clothes are produced in the world, as labor is very cheap in this country. These well-known brands have their products made here because the workmanship is cheap, and wherever you shop in the world, you will encounter the phrase "MADE IN BANGLADES" in the vast majority of the products you buy. For this reason, you can get well-known branded products much cheaper here. You can come across this production, which is usually made in workshops located in 8-10 storey buildings, in the buildings you go to.

If you pay attention when you go shopping in the city, there are many GÜLŞAH-1, 2, 3, etc. You will encounter shops named after them. You can buy clothes (t-shirts, coats, trousers, etc.) at affordable prices from here. You can also buy real pearls at an affordable price in this city. For this purpose, you can come across many shops during shopping. In addition, tuk tuk and taxis will offer you to go to such shops and shopping places in exchange for a discount while bargaining. You can also use these for shopping within the scope of your bargain. If you do a price research before going to this region, you can avoid the possibility of shopping at unexpected or very expensive prices. In addition, many authentic products are waiting for you in shopping places like the Grand Bazaar in Turkey.

In the city center where hygiene is not very good, it is of great benefit to be cautious against pickpockets and beggars. Although it is not a big problem in terms of security, especially European tourists are noticed immediately due to the skin color of the people of the region and they are surrounded in this way, and it is considered that it would be beneficial to be careful.

The food culture is similar to India and Pakistan. According to our cuisine, the use of spices in all dishes is very common.

k is more. You will witness the intense use of spices in almost all dishes. For this reason, you may not be very lucky in terms of dishes that suit your taste.

I wish you pleasant travels.
