What to expect from the show
The Whirling Dervish is a man dressed in an elegant white gown, spinning in a trance-like state. This ancient Sufi tradition dates back 700 years. The performance represents the belief that the soul reaches perfection and ascends to heaven through spinning meditation, imitating the Solar system. The ceremony embodies Islamic mysticism and spiritualism.
Sufis, the spiritual section of Islam, were the pioneers of incorporating this dance into their religious rituals. In this one-hour show, you will witness the Dervish ceremony, symbolizing love, the search for truth, and the route to perfection.
This exclusive show provides a closer connection to traditional Turkish culture and ancient spiritual practices. We will finally drop you back at your hotel at around 6:30 pm.
