Itinerary

Day 1

Experience one of Turkey’s most iconic spiritual rituals with the Whirling Dervish Ceremony, held in a historical setting in Cappadocia. This sacred Sufi ritual, also known as Sema, is a captivating journey of inner transformation and connection with the divine.

As the dervishes begin to whirl in their white robes, arms open — one hand turned toward the sky to receive blessings, and the other toward the earth to share them — they perform a meditative dance that symbolizes spiritual ascent and unity with all of creation.

During the ceremony:

  • You will witness the traditional Sema ritual, accompanied by live Sufi music played on classical instruments.

  • The ambiance is silent and sacred — allowing for deep reflection and emotional immersion.

  • The ceremony is held in an authentic indoor venue, usually a restored caravanserai or cultural center in Cappadocia.

Please note:

  • The program does not include hotel transfers. Guests are expected to arrive at the venue on their own.

  • Venue details and directions will be shared with your confirmation email.

The ceremony typically lasts about 1 hour, and while it is not a performance in the entertainment sense, it leaves a lasting emotional and spiritual impression on all who attend.

At the end of the evening, we bid farewell, hoping that this unique cultural experience stays with you forever. Thank you for choosing TravelShop Booking
