What you can expect

Witness the Mevlevi Sema ceremony at the HodjaPasha Culture Centre in central Istanbul and see the whirling dances and dervishes. Enjoy complimentary drinks during the show.
Step inside a 550-year-old Ottoman Turkish bath in Sultanahmet-Sirkeci and take your place. Learn more about the Mevlevi Sema from the provided booklet.

Marvel at this cultural dance that dates back 800 years. The programme begins with a classical Turkish music concert. See the dervishes and sheikh take their place and praise the Prophet Mohammed.
Following the chant, hear the drum voice as the dervishes perform the seven-part Sema ceremony which represents the birth of humanity. The Sema ends with a Fâtiha for the souls of all prophets, martyrs, and believers, and a prayer for the salvation of the country.
