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 spirit.

What to expect from the show

The image of the Whirling Dervish is familiar to many - a man dressed in an elegant white gown spinning in a trance-like state. This ancient Sufi tradition dates back 700 years and represents more than just a visual spectacle.

The performance reflects the belief that the soul of man reaches perfection and ascends to heaven through this spinning meditation, symbolizing the Solar system's orbit around the sun. The ceremony is rooted in ancient Islamic mysticism and spiritualism.

Sufis, the spiritual section of Islam, were the first to incorporate this dance into their religious rituals. In this one-hour show, you will experience the Dervish ceremony, which symbolizes love, the search for truth, and the route to perfection.

This exclusive show offers insight into traditional Turkish culture and ancient spiritual practices. We will drop you back at your hotel at around 6:30 pm.
