Whirling Dervish Show in Pamukkale

If you're in Pamukkale, we recommend attending a whirling dervish show, a ceremony significant in Turkish culture.

Whirling Dervish Show

A whirling dervish show is a must-see for an immersive cultural experience in Turkey. It features men dressed in white spinning continuously, known as the Dervish dance, part of the Order of Mevlevi in Sufism. This ceremony represents a spiritual quest to connect with Allah.

The Whirling Dervish dance has a history of over 700 years, performed with a musical backdrop that enhances the experience as participants spin in pursuit of ecstasy.

The show lasts for 1 hour in a historical venue that once served as an old medieval dwelling for traders in Pamukkale. Attendees will also enjoy a sherbet, a traditional drink made from fruit, herbs, and flower petals.
