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 a white gown spinning round and round in a trance-like state. However, this dance, part of an ancient Sufi tradition dating back 700 years, goes beyond a visual spectacle.

The performance is rooted in 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 embodies ancient Islamic mysticism and spiritualism.

Sufis, the spiritual branch of Islam, were the pioneers of incorporating this dance into their rituals. In this one-hour show, you will experience the Dervish ceremony, which symbolizes love, the search for truth, and the path to perfection.

Regardless of one's beliefs, this exclusive show offers a closer connection to traditional Turkish culture and ancient spiritual practices. Participants will be dropped back at their hotel at around 6:30 pm.
