Zeynep our guide was fantastic!!! She has enthusiasm and passion that comes through in her showing off her country's culture. We highly recommend this guide and the whirling dervish ceremony is a spiritual journey that makes me want to delve more into the history and to read Rumi. The food at the historic restaurant was awesome! Loved it all!!

A wonderful performance! A deep dive into Turkish culture in general and the culture of the dervish in particular. It was great that there was a 15-minute workshop before the performance, where we were thoroughly explained the spiritual essence and meaning of the performance. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience spiritual Turkey.

Las indicaciones fueron muy claras y llegamos fácilmente a este edificio histórico; no tuvimos que esperar mucho, la función comenzó a tiempo, la presentación se podría apreciar muy bien desde cualquier asiento dentro del auditorio. Gradualmente la música y la danza nos fueron introduciendo a su mundo espiritual. Los danzantes y los músicos fueron magníficos, una experiencia inolvidable!

La media hora de antelación solo era necesaria para estar en la cola. La primera sala con sillas donde pasamos no era el lugar de la meditación. Despues, pesenciar a los derviches fue una experiencia mágica y conmovedora. Lo más impactante fue ver cómo se despojan de sus capas oscuras para representar la muerte del ego . Una parada obligatoria

Witness the UNESCO-recognized Mevlevi Sema ceremony, a spiritual ritual blending music, meditation, and whirling dance.

Begin your evening in the Sultahmet or Hagia Sophia area; present your ticket and settle in for the spiritual Mevlevi Sema ceremony.

Your ticket grants access to the full Whirling Dervish ritual, with live Sufi music and mesmerizing dance in a central Old Town venue.

Witness the 1-hour Mevlevi Sema, a moving display of devotion and artistry, as dervishes whirl in authentic tradition before your eyes.

Upgrade your experience with a traditional Turkish dinner including a variety of kebabs, meze, salads, tea, coffee, and künefe.
