A magical moment of authenticity and spirituality. The traditional music and the Dervishes are a spectacle not to be missed.

Hi there! My experience was awesome, especially due to the fact of Palestinian protests in the city of Istanbul thwse days - of which the Hoca Rustem Theatre notified us, on the day before, where and when we just went and found our theratre hall for Saturday night... So we stayed on Friday night, the Theatre accounted for our tickets and even offered us a discount on a second ticket. Thus we avoided crowds on next evening, Saturday night, when we were supposed to have seen the show... Good we saw it on Friday! And thus, in ots own way, we could join the protest, which we also did, personally, and professionally, we also were interviewed for national TV there, in the wonderful city if Istanbul, me and my companion. So, thank you for asking us on our experience, sending our best from Sofia today, may Hod bless you, dear all! Yours, Desislava Valentinova

The performance itself was good but the seating arrangements were not as I was expecting them to be. The pillars were blocking my view . Also some seats were marked as reserved whereas I wasn't given any option to reserve a seat during the booking process so I don't understand how some people got reserved seats in the front row. It seemed unfair to me as I paid the amount required for the show.

Booking tickets were quick and easy. Directions provided to the venue were good. The show was amazing and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Somewhere in the heart of Istanbul, a centuries-old school of theology preserves the practice of the Whirling Dervishes, a unique form of prayer in the Sufi tradition. The architecture and the ambiance will wrap you in a spiritual trance. Learn about the Mevlevi Order, founded by the followers of Rumi, the renowned medieval poet from Konya.

As the traditional Sufi instrumentals commence, lose yourself in the enchanting music and watch the Dervishes taking the stage after the prayer citation. Gracefully turning with their hands extended towards the skies, the whirling movement facilitates their connection with the universe. Watch them immerse in devotional prayers as they whirl to feel the motion and creation of the world around them. The spiritual and historical value of the Mevlevi Order traditions is highly significant to the country’s culture. Be a part of this poetic spiritual experience, which showcases the religious heritage of Istanbul.
