Hakkında

Discover a Timeless Ritual in Istanbul

Step into the heart of Istanbul and witness a centuries-old tradition that seamlessly blends spirituality, music and movement. The Whirling Dervishes, representatives of the Mevlevi Order, perform a mesmerising ceremony known as the Sema. This evocative Sufi ritual, rooted in the teachings of the celebrated poet Rumi, is a profound expression of devotion and artistic grace.

A Journey of Harmony and Faith

The Whirling Dervishes ceremony is held in historic venues, each designed to envelope guests in a spiritual ambiance. As you enter, authentic Sufi music greets you, played expertly on traditional instruments, setting a contemplative mood. The ceremony begins with prayers and introductions, establishing a connection with the centuries-old customs upheld by the Mevlevi Order.

The Whirl That Mirrors the Universe

Dervishes take center stage in their distinctive white robes and tall hats, symbolising the self and the tombstone of ego, respectively. With hands raised towards the skies and eyes half-closed, they initiate their spinning journey. Each rotation embodies the planets’ movement and their quest to reach spiritual enlightenment. Their right palm faces upward, receiving blessings, while their left directs these to the earth. The continuous spinning from the heart’s side echoes the spiritual journey towards unity and divine love.

More Than Dance: A Spiritual Practice

While the performance captivates with its beauty, it is primarily a form of prayer. The Dervishes’ whirling is a meditative act, reflecting surrender to the universe. As the ritual unfolds, soulful chanting and Sufi melodies amplify the ceremony’s mystique. The experience fosters a deep sense of peace and contemplation, inviting onlookers into a space where the material and spiritual worlds meet.

Enrich Your Cultural Understanding

The Sema ceremony is recognised by UNESCO as part of the world’s intangible cultural heritage. This ticket offers a rare chance to witness the living legacy of Rumi’s followers. Alongside the ceremony, some options include a Bosphorus cruise, audio guides in multiple languages and traditional Turkish refreshments to enhance your visit.

What to Expect

  • Entry to the authentic Mevlevi Sema ritual in an atmospheric setting

  • Live Sufi music and spiritual recitations

  • Skilful Dervishes performing graceful whirls in unison

  • An introduction to the historical and spiritual context of the Mevlevi Order
