Une cérémonie atypique à voir


Highlights

This is a ticket to watch the Sema ceremony of the Mevlevi order at the Hodjapasha Cultural Center in Istanbul's old city. In this UNESCO-listed ceremony, dervishes in long white skirts whirl slowly, symbolizing a spiritual journey toward divine love. The venue is a restored 15th-century Turkish bath (hamam), so you can also take in the atmosphere of Ottoman architecture. A program booklet explaining the history and meaning of the ceremony and a bottle of water are included, and you can choose between the 5 PM and 7 PM performances.
