Solo Nos llegó el código para Sophia pero no las de la cisterna. Sophia no vale la pena ir ahora mievtats está en remodelación, la cisterna impresionante pero una señorita nos tuvo que ayudar por que no me llegaron los códigos nunca para la entrada, ella tuvo que escribir al proveedor de los boletos para que se las enviaran.

Sehr beeindruckende und spirituelle Erfahrung. Die wirbelnden Derwische und der Sufi-Tanz waren faszinierend anzusehen und haben eine besondere, fast meditative Atmosphäre geschaffen. Organisation und Ablauf waren gut, allerdings sollte man wissen, dass es sich eher um eine ruhige, kulturelle Darbietung als um eine klassische „Show“ handelt. Insgesamt absolut empfehlenswert für alle, die sich für Kultur und Spiritualität interessieren

The dancing itself was beautiful. We appreciated that they stayed so true to it's roots. The sacred meditative Sufi practice was honored and didn't sell out to this just being a dancing performance. People people just looking for dancers performing, might not appreciate it in the way that those who understood its roots certainly did.

Nestled in a historic traditional building just near the Hagia Sophia this venue was easy to locate. Smooth and hassle free entry. The experience of the show was surreal. It's more of a Sufi ceremony than a public performance that transcends you beyond the everyday. If you are up for such feels, please don't miss it!

This pocket-friendly combo lets you experience two of Istanbul's most captivating cultural treasures: the whirling dervishes' ceremony and the Hagia Sophia.

Whirling Dervish Show

As you enter the historic madrasah, you’ll take your seat before the ceremony begins. The performance opens with traditional Sufi music played live, setting the tone for the ritual. When the dervishes step into the space, their measured turns follow the formal structure of the Sema, each phase representing a step in the Mevlevi spiritual practice. Their flowing skirts rise as they rotate in controlled, deliberate motion, illustrating the discipline and symbolism behind this centuries-old tradition. Throughout the ceremony, you’ll witness how movement, music, and prayer come together to express the core principles of Sufism.

Hagia Sophia

Your combo ticket also grants you skip-the-line access to the Hagia Sophia. With your multilingual audio guide, embark on a self-guided exploration, unraveling the stories etched in the mosaics and the intricate calligraphy adorning the walls. Imagine the footsteps of Byzantine emperors echoing through the 6th-century Emperor's Gate. Don't miss the Mihrab, a prayer niche indicating the direction of Mecca – a reminder of Hagia Sophia's past as both a church and a mosque. Keep an eye out for the towering columns, each brought from ancient cities such as Ephesos and Tarsus. Explore this time capsule at your own pace as you soak in its centuries-old history.
