What guests say

“A very charming ceremony, preceded by a short and interesting cultural introduction. One of the best moments of my trip to Istanbul!”

“Time to stop and slow down , different from any other place- were the human soul is beeing reborn. Very interesting experience”

“Great experience. It was a bit hard to find though.”

“I liked the clear explanation in the beginning”

“It was wonderful. Mesmerising. Solemn but uplifting. The introduction was difficult hear - a combo of poor sound quality, rapid speech and a thick accent. Don’t know if this can be improved. But the dancing (spinning) was spectacular. Find your way here for a novel, non-commercial travel experience.”

“The show was great. But the organizers should not allow to participate with small babies. There were 3 babies in the show and it was very difficult to focus on the show, as they were crying etc. for most time.”

“its an amazing spiritual experiance. generations of sufi's have been doing it. it was an honor to witness the ceremony in person.”

“Unique experience!”

“Der Veranstaltungsort ist recht abgelegen, am besten mit Uber zu erreichen. Der Saal ist hübsch, es gibt nicht viele Plätze, sodass man sehr nah am geschehen ist. Zunächst erfolgte eine Erklärung der Zeremonie auf Englisch und Türkisch, dann die eigentliche Zeremonie. Diese war für Touristen ohne spirituellen Hintergrund nur mäßig interessant: die Derwische laufen langsam umher, verbeugen sich mehrfach und drehen sich zur Musik im Kreis - mehr passiert nicht. Kann man sich anschauen, ist aber kein Muss.”
