About Abdullah Hikmat

Based in Istanbul, Abdullah Hikmat is the kind of local who believes a city should be experienced properly: on foot when possible, by tram or metro when necessary, and with good food involved at all times. Fluent in Arabic and English, Abdullah enjoys showing solo travelers the side of Istanbul that looks great in photos, tastes even better in real life, and somehow never makes it into the average guidebook. City walks, food spots, photography routes, music-filled corners, and social media-worthy backdrops are all part of the experience. Expect someone curious, easy to talk to, and slightly offended by boring itineraries. If there’s a hidden street, a better view, or a snack worth ruining your self-control for, Abdullah will probably know about it. In short: a local guide for travelers who want more than just “see the landmark, take the picture, go home.”
