Yes! Since January 2024, all tickets include both the main palace and the Harem section. There's no need to buy separate tickets anymore. This gives you access to all courtyards, treasury, sacred relics, and the Harem quarters.

Bring headphones, a fully charged smartphone, and make sure to download the audio guide app (instructions provided after booking). If traveling with children under 7, bring their passport. The app needs internet to download but works offline once installed.
