Trabzon rock becomes tourist hotspot after Mohamed Salah photo

Egyptian football star Mohamed Salah has quickly made himself at home in Trabzon, Turkey. After scoring goals for Trabzonspor and exploring his new surroundings, Salah decided to visit Kurtdere Yaylası and the route to Sümela Monastery. Upon his return, the Egyptian athlete took a picture sitting on a rock and shared it on social media.

The photograph of Salah on the rock quickly gained attention, with fans and visitors traveling to the spot to recreate his pose. The rock has become so popular that it has earned the nickname "Salahtası" or "Salah's rock." Turkish media reported that a sign declaring "Salah Yaylası" or "Salah Plateau" was erected near the location to cater to the growing interest in the area.

Salah's rapid rise in Trabzon, both on and off the pitch, highlights his significant impact on the city and Trabzonspor since joining the team this summer.
