Trabzon Airport Prayer Rooms (TZX): Official Terminal Guide

Trabzon Airport (TZX) officially lists women’s and men’s prayer facilities in both its domestic and international terminal facility tables. The operator also lists prayer facilities in each terminal’s “Arındırılmış Salon” (sterilised hall), while the international check-in hall additionally lists an ihram changing area. Exact floors, gate landmarks, wudu facilities, and opening hours are not published, so ask staff for the live route. [1] [2]

Quick answer: For a domestic journey, ask terminal staff for the Bay/Bayan Mescit in the departing-passenger hall or the mescit listed in the sterilised hall. For an international journey, the official table lists a Bay/Bayan Mescit in both the check-in hall and the sterilised hall; it also lists an İhram Giyinme Alanı in the check-in hall. [1] [2]

Does Trabzon Airport have prayer rooms?

Yes. The official DHMİ facility tables for both terminals list a Bay/Bayan Mescit, meaning women’s and men’s prayer facilities. These are service listings from the airport operator—not a third-party directory—and they identify prayer facilities in more than one passenger area. [1] [2]

For the domestic terminal, DHMİ lists a Bay/Bayan Mescit in the Giden Yolcu Salonu (departing-passenger hall) and another Bay/Bayan Mescit in the Arındırılmış Salon (sterilised hall). The domestic arrivals section also lists a mescit, but does not give a quantity or location detail. [1]

For the international terminal, DHMİ lists a Bay/Bayan Mescit in the Check-in Salonu and another in the Arındırılmış Salon. The international check-in-hall list also includes an İhram Giyinme Alanı, an ihram changing area. [2]

How to find a prayer room at Trabzon Airport

Your first decision is whether you are using the domestic or international terminal. The official tables distinguish the two terminals and their passenger areas; a generic “airport mosque” web listing will not tell you which current route matches your flight. [1] [2]

For a domestic departure, begin in the domestic terminal and ask an information-service, security, or ground-services team member for the Bay/Bayan Mescit in the departing-passenger hall. If you are already in the area called Arındırılmış Salon on the official table, ask staff for the prayer facility listed there. Do not assume the facility is beside a particular gate: the operator does not provide gate or floor directions. [1]

For an international departure, ask for the Bay/Bayan Mescit in the check-in hall before you move beyond the check-in stage. The official international-terminal table also lists a Bay/Bayan Mescit in its Arındırılmış Salon. If you are travelling for Umrah or Hajj, ask staff for the İhram Giyinme Alanı in the international check-in hall, which is listed alongside the prayer facility. [2]

For an arrival or pickup, the domestic terminal’s arriving-passenger section lists a mescit, but without a route or quantity. Ask staff rather than trying to infer the location from a departure-area description. [1]

Wudu and access: what the official sources do and do not say

The official tables confirm prayer facilities but do not expressly list an ablution area, wudu point, washroom configuration for wudu, prayer-room hours, Qibla signage, accessibility route, or a map. This guide therefore does not claim a dedicated wudu facility at Trabzon Airport.

If you need to make wudu, ask staff where the currently appropriate washroom or facility is before you begin. Follow any posted terminal instructions. If your prayer time is close, allow time for a live direction rather than relying on an older social post or a generic airport listing.

Parking at Trabzon Airport

DHMİ’s domestic-terminal facility table lists 288 parking spaces, including 15 disabled-parking spaces. The international-terminal table also lists 288 parking spaces, including 15 disabled-parking spaces. [1] [2]

These tables do not state a current tariff, online reservation system, nearest parking row for either prayer facility, or a dedicated prayer-room parking space. They also do not say that the figures should be added together. Follow the signs for the terminal used by your flight, use a designated parking bay, and confirm live conditions when you arrive.

Official parking information	What to check on the day

International-terminal table: 288 spaces; 15 disabled spaces. [2]	Current price, space availability, and the route into the international terminal.

Practical plan for Muslim travellers

Arrive with enough time to identify your terminal and ask for the Bay/Bayan Mescit before your travel steps become time-sensitive. For domestic passengers, the official list distinguishes the departing-passenger hall and the Arındırılmış Salon. For international passengers, it distinguishes the check-in hall and the Arındırılmış Salon, and documents an ihram changing area in the check-in hall. [1] [2]

The names used by the operator are useful when asking for directions: Bay/Bayan Mescit for women’s/men’s prayer facilities and İhram Giyinme Alanı for the ihram changing area. The airport’s published data verifies the facilities, but the on-site team and current signs are the authority for the exact route, security rules, and opening status.
