Highlights
This ticket lets you watch the Sema, the whirling Sufi ceremony, at Abud Efendi Mansion, an Ottoman-era mansion in Sultanahmet just a few steps from Hagia Sophia. Performed by the Mevlevi order and inspired by the teachings of the 13th-century mystic poet Rumi, it is not a stage show but a symbolic ceremony of music, movement and silence. In an intimate space filled with live Sufi music, you can watch the dancers slowly whirl up close.
Program
See the Sema ceremony up close
in an Ottoman mansion
The performance takes place for about 1 hour at the historic Abud Efendi Mansion in the heart of Sultanahmet. The intimate venue lets you watch the dancers' movements up close while preserving the calm, meditative atmosphere of the ceremony.
A whirling ceremony inspired by Rumi
The Sema is performed by the Mevlevi order and inspired by the teachings of Rumi, the 13th-century poet and mystic. The dancers whirl to an elegant, meditative rhythm, expressing the soul's journey toward love, wisdom and inner peace. Every part of the ceremony has meaning, from the dancers' costumes to the way they move and turn.
An atmosphere created by live Sufi music
Traditional Sufi music is played live throughout the performance, creating a calm and focused atmosphere. Close to Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern and the Blue Mosque, it fits easily into an evening after sightseeing in Sultanahmet.
※ Please keep a quiet and respectful atmosphere during the ceremony.
