What to expect from the show
The image of the Whirling Dervish is widely recognized - a man in a white gown spinning in a trance-like state. This dance, rooted in a Sufi tradition dating back 700 years, transcends mere visual appeal.
This performance embodies the belief that the soul of man achieves perfection and ascends to heaven through spinning meditation, symbolizing the Solar system's orbit around the sun. The ceremony is steeped in Islamic mysticism and spiritualism.
Sufis, the spiritual branch of Islam, pioneered the incorporation of this dance into their rituals. The one-hour show features the Dervish ceremony, representing love, the search for truth, and the path to perfection.
This exclusive show offers an insight into traditional Turkish culture and ancient spiritual practices, regardless of your beliefs. We will drop you back at your hotel at around 6:30 pm.
