Overview

Whirling Dervish Ceremony: It is known as the most mystical dance in the world, created and developed with the inspiration of Rumi (1207-1273). It taught by Shams-i Tabriz to Mevlana. In fact, when looked more deeply, it is the ritual of the Mevlevi dervishes. It can be summarized as the ritual they perform by opening their arms to both sides, turning their right palm to the sky and turning their left palm to the earth, and taking them from God and giving them to the people, accompanied by instruments such as the Ney. (Reed Flute) Here, music is an instrument that helps meditation.

    The ceremony was as mesmerizing as we thought it would be. The music was actually played live. The venue also made the experience even more authentic as it is an actual caravanserai. Our guide, Shahin, gave us lots of background and was just an angel. He even had tips for great photos/videos after the ceremony. All in all, it was truly a wonderful experience.

    A moving, hypnotic experience the movements are so graceful and you can sense how deeply spiritual it is to the Dervish would highly recommend it. The location was so interesting that in itself was worth a visit.

    A beautiful and spiritual experience. They gave us plenty of time to take pics at the end so don’t stress if they say no pics while they are performing.

    Mystical, ethereal and fascinating ceremony by the Sufi Dervishes, followers of Mevlana, (Rumi). No photos during the ceremony, but they allowed about 2 mins after the final prayer. This is NOT a show. Truly a moving experience. Go!
