What you can expect

Experience one of the most spiritual and cultural traditions of Türkiye in the heart of Istanbul. Step inside the historic 550-year-old Hocapaşa Hamam, located near Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace, and witness the mesmerising Sema Ceremony performed by the Whirling Dervishes of the Mevlevi Order.

The Sema Ceremony represents a spiritual journey of love, self-discipline, and unity with the divine. Accompanied by traditional Sufi music and symbolic movements, this UNESCO-recognized cultural heritage performance offers an unforgettable cultural experience in Istanbul.

Before the ceremony, explore the unique Dervish Exhibition area featuring informational displays about Mevlana and Sufism, traditional dervish clothing and accessories, musical instruments and cultural objects, interactive poetry and music presentations, hyperrealistic dervish statues, and an introductory video presentation.

The ceremony takes place inside the atmospheric dome of the historic Ottoman bathhouse, creating a mystical and authentic ambiance.
