Highlights
This is a ticket to watch the Sema ceremony of the Mevlevi order at the Hoca Rüstem Medrese in Istanbul's old city. It is a Sufi ritual that has continued for about 800 years, and you can see dervishes in white robes slowly whirling to the music up close. A smartphone audio guide app (English) is included, so you can understand the meaning of the ceremony and the history of the Mevlevi order. The performance lasts about 1 hour.
Program
Watch the Mevlevi Sema ceremony
at the Hoca Rüstem Medrese
The Sema ceremony takes place at the Hoca Rüstem Medrese, a former theological school in the Fatih district in the heart of Istanbul. Enjoy about 1 hour of live music and whirling dervishes.
Discover an 800-year-old Sufi ritual
Whirling dervishes follow the mystical Sufi tradition of Islam. The name Mevlevi comes from Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, the founder of the order. Whirling is also the final ritual showing that a member has been accepted into the order.
Learn the meaning behind the whirling and costumes
The Mevlevi order believes that everything was created through rotation, so the dervishes seek harmony with creation by whirling. The costumes and instruments each have a meaning, and the tall hat worn by the dervishes symbolizes the tombstone of the ego.
Understand the ceremony more deeply with the audio guide app
Use the smartphone audio guide app (English) to hear detailed explanations of the Sema ceremony and the Mevlevi order. Please bring headphones and a charged smartphone.
