Whirling Dervishes Show & Exhibition

THE SEMA CEREMONY IS A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY OF DERVISHES WHIRLING FOR DIVINE LOVE 

Everyday at 19:00

Watch the mystical ritual of the Mevlevi Order, whose whirling dance has been declared a UNESCO Heritage of Humanity. The Sema ceremony is a journey through man’s spiritual ascent to “perfection” through mind and love—a truly unmissable and astonishing experience of music and moves.

The exhibition features Information displays about dervishes and their ceremony and objects belonging to the world of dervishes, such as clothing, musical instruments, personal tools, and books. Interactive Rumi poems and sufi music samples, hyperrealist-style dervish statues, and Video shows are also part of this unique exhibition.
