The major Turkish cities host large Arab communities from various Arab world countries, some of whom sought refuge from war, while others came as investors, tourists, or students. Investors have already opened many commercial and industrial projects, each according to their expertise and field of work.
Due to the significant Arab presence in Turkey in general, and Istanbul in particular, a street known as the ‘Arab Street in Turkey’ has become famous throughout Turkey. This street is located in the Turkish city of Istanbul, in a very well-known area among the majority of Arabs, known as Aksaray in Istanbul. This area is considered one of the most crowded areas with Arabs, commercial shops, and Arab restaurants, and even Arab residents.
