The fascination with the show and the lush scenery has propelled more than 100,000 Saudis to travel to Turkey this year, according to Turkish diplomats, up from about 40,000 last year. The fictional home of Muhannad's family has been rented by tour operators and turned into a temporary museum for visitors. Saudi magazines have featured several spreads of the luxury villa on the Bosporus in Istanbul where the show was shot and interviewed Saudi tourists there.
