Whirling Dervish Show

In the evening around 7pm, we pick you up from your hotel by our coach and assistant through old city area.

Program consist only Sufi Whirling Dervishes performance, meaning of tolerance, forgiveness, and enlightenment. The Mevlevi Order was founded by Mevlana Rumi in the 13th century. The ritual of the Mevlevi sect, known as the “sema”, is a serious religious ritual. They believed that during the whirling, the soul was released from earthly ties, and able to freely and jubilantly commune with the divine. Dervish literally means "doorway" and is thought to be an entrance from this material world to the spiritual, heavenly world.
