Es una buena muestra para un espectador que apenas conoce del tema. Bellísimo momento.

Extremely fascinating

La notion de coupe file ne semble pas vraiment pertinente au regard de l'organisation. Je n'ai pas attendu de toute façon. J'ai apprécié les explications données, peut-être réfléchir à plusieurs langues. cela reste un spectacle dédié au tourisme.

This was an amazing experience and difficult to put in to words. The exhibition in the foyer is interesting and helps you understand the ceremony

I did not know exactly what to expect but I was intrigued and mesmerized by the ritual and the sanctity of the event. I am glad we attended and would recommend to anyone if they want to get a glimpse into the mysticism of the Sufi traditions.


Highlights

This ticket lets you watch the 800-year-old Mevlevi Sema ceremony at the HodjaPasha Culture Center in Sirkeci, Istanbul. The venue is a restored 550-year-old Ottoman Turkish bath (hammam), where you can see the whirling dervishes in white robes up close in a historic setting. The show opens with classical Turkish music and continues with the seven-part Sema ceremony, and a booklet provided on site explains the meaning of the ritual. You can choose between the 5 PM Happy Hour show and the 7 PM Prime Time show.
