Turkish has ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş and ü. Look for minarets, apartment blocks with rooftop water heaters, dry hills and big red flags.
Driving side
Cars in Turkey drive on the right. So do Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, which are also in the Middle East. Most of the world drives on the right, so this alone won't narrow it down much: check the signs next.
Countries it's easy to confuse with Turkey
