My experience was very spiritual, from the exhibition before the show to the singing and performance. It was exactly what I expected. The set lights and stage made it even more beautiful. I would come back to see this show again. I learned and felt so much.

Its an amazing experience, very well done. The whole performance goes seamless. My only feedback os the sitting arrangement. Seats are assigned by the management amd something very tall people sit in front of you blocking the view. If shorter and thinner people are on the front row and taller on the back, that would be nice.

Prenotazione agevole per lo spettacolo scelto. Pur se non indicato nella prenotazione, viene assegnato un posto numerato nella platea, composta di 3-4 giri intorno al cerchio della esibizione.

Seamless booking and great pricing via Headout set the stage for a mesmerizing evening. The "Hodjapasha Whirling Dervishes Show" is a profoundly peaceful, spiritual journey. Thank you Team. We loved the experience. > Pro-Tip: Grab a brochure at the ticket office to understand the ritual’s sequence. > Note: To honor its sacred history, no photos/videos are allowed during the performance. Save your snaps for the stunning venue displays, put your phone away, and simply soak in the pure tranquility!

J'avais pourtant déjà assisté à ce type de cérémonie spirituelle en France mais celles-ci ne m'avaient pas touchée à ce point. Émue aux larmes, j'aurais souhaité un temps de recueillement à la fin pour prolonger cet état de grâce et faire perdurer cette vibration mais les touristes ne semblaient pas avoir vécu la même expérience, puisqu'à peine terminée, ils se sont levés pour partir. J'ai aimé les phrases qui s'affichent sur le mur pendant la danse des derviches, le lieu, l'exposition, l'accueil, l'atmosphère générale. Merci de diffuser, de faire vivre la sagesse de Rumi par delà les siècles. Si ce spectacle vous a plu, je vous conseille de lire Soufi mon amour de Elif Shafak.

Unique experience of a sufi ceremony with dancers and accompanying music, meditative atmosphere. Audience quiet and attentive. Had read about Rumi and sufi, but not the ceremony. Therefore it would have been nice if they had allowed us in before the start which was not the case.

Enjoy an immersive Sema ceremony featuring a 5-min intro video, 10-min Sufi concert, and the full 45-min whirling ritual.

Explore the exhibition showcasing dervish clothing, instruments, historic books, hyperrealist statues, and interactive Rumi poems.

Watch the UNESCO-recognized Mevlevi ritual that traces the dervishes’ spiritual journey toward divine love.

Watch the Whirling Dervishes perform their spiritual dance, accompanied by traditional music in an atmospheric setting.

Choose your preferred entry time with either a 5pm ticket or a 7pm Prime Time ticket to best suit your schedule.

1-hour Whirling Dervish show at 5pm or 7pm (as per option selected)

The environment of the hamam, the explanations given about the whirling and the history behind it was beautiful. Very memorable!
