Immerse yourself in the magic and mysticism of ancient Turkish culture with this traditional dance ceremony featuring the Whirling Dervishes and the rhythms of Sufi music.

What to expect from the show

The Whirling Dervish is depicted as a man in a white gown spinning in a trance-like state. This ancient Sufi tradition dates back 700 years. The performance is rooted in the belief that the soul of man reaches perfection and ascends to heaven through spinning meditation, emulating the Solar system's orbit around the sun. The ceremony is steeped in Islamic mysticism and spiritualism.

Sufis, the spiritual branch of Islam, were the first to integrate this dance into their rituals. In this one-hour show, you will witness the Dervish ceremony, which symbolizes love, the search for truth, and the path to perfection. This exclusive performance offers insight into traditional Turkish culture and ancient spiritual practices, regardless of personal beliefs.

At the conclusion of the event, we will drop you back at your hotel at around 6:30 pm.
