About This Tour
Witness one of Turkey’s most spiritual and authentic cultural performances — the Whirling Dervishes Ceremony — in the stunning setting of the Hodjapasha Cultural Center, a beautifully restored 15th-century Ottoman bath. Unlike other shows, this experience is not a theatrical performance but a sacred ritual representing the Mevlevi philosophy of divine love and unity. The combination of live Sufi music, traditional instruments, and the graceful whirling dance creates an atmosphere of peace and deep reflection. Each movement, each note of the ney flute, carries centuries of mysticism and meaning. This ceremony offers travelers the rare chance to feel the spiritual essence of Istanbul, connecting art, history, and faith in one unforgettable evening.
