KUALA LUMPUR: Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, Queen of Malaysia, visited the Dolmabahce Palace Museum in Istanbul yesterday.

According to a post on the Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar Facebook page, upon arrival at the museum, Her Majesty was received by the museum’s Head of Protocol, Tangül Erol.

Accompanying the Queen during the visit were the Tunku Temenggong of Johor, Tunku Idris Iskandar Al-Haj Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, the Tunku Panglima of Johor, Tunku Abdul Rahman Al-Haj Ibni Sultan Ibrahim and the Tunku Putera of Johor, Tunku Abu Bakar Al-Haj Ibni Sultan Ibrahim.

Also present were director of the Graduate School and professor in the Department of History, Faculty of Arts, at Istanbul Medeniyet University Prof Dr Ismail Hakki Kadi and independent researcher Dr Yakoob Ahmed, who previously served as an associate professor at the Institute of Islamic Studies at Istanbul University.

According to the post, Raja Zarith Sofiah spent about an hour touring the palace’s main rooms, which witnessed the final years of the Ottoman Empire and where Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, founder of the Republic of Turkiye, died in 1938.

During the visit, she reminisced about visiting Dolmabahce Palace with her siblings in the 1970s and took memorable photographs at the same spot in the palace grounds.
