Immerse yourself in the magic and mysticism of ancient Turkish culture with this traditional dance ceremony. Enjoy the spectacle of the Whirling Dervishes and let the rhythms of the Sufi music connect your mind and your spirit.

What to expect from the show

The image of the Whirling Dervish is familiar to many - a man in an elegant white gown spinning in a trance-like state. This dance is more than a visual spectacle, rooted in a Sufi tradition that dates back 700 years.

The performance symbolizes the belief that the soul of man reaches perfection and ascends to heaven through spinning meditation, likened to the Solar system orbiting the sun. It is steeped in ancient Islamic mysticism and spiritualism.

Sufis are the spiritual branch of Islam and were the first to include this dance in their rituals. In this one-hour show, you will experience the Dervish ceremony, which embodies love, the search for truth, and the route to perfection.

This exclusive show provides insight into traditional Turkish culture and ancient spiritual practices. You will be dropped back at your hotel at around 6:30 pm.
