Family experiences in Istanbul

Discover a Timeless Ritual in IstanbulStep into the heart of Istanbul and witness a centuries-old tradition that seamlessly blends spirituality, music and movement. The Whirling Dervishes, representatives of the Mevlevi Order, perform a mesmerising ceremony known as the Sema. This evocative Sufi ritual, rooted in the teachings of the celebrated poet Rumi, is a profound expression of devotion and artistic grace.A Journey of Harmony and FaithThe Whirling Dervishes ceremony is held in historic venues, each designed to envelope guests in a spiritual ambiance. As you enter, authentic Sufi music greets you, played expertly on traditional instruments, setting a contemplative mood. The ceremony begins with prayers and introductions, establishing a connection with the centuries-old customs upheld by the Mevlevi Order.The Whirl That Mirrors the UniverseDervishes take center stage in their distinctive white robes and tall hats, symbolising the self and the tombstone of ego, respectively. With hands raised towards the skies and eyes half-closed, they initiate their spinning journey. Each rotation embodies the planets’ movement and their quest to reach spiritual enlightenment. Their right palm faces upward, receiving blessings, while their left directs these to the earth. The continuous spinning from the heart’s side echoes the spiritual journey towards unity and divine love.More Than Dance: A Spiritual PracticeWhile the performance captivates with its beauty, it is primarily a form of prayer. The Dervishes’ whirling is a meditative act, reflecting surrender to the universe. As the ritual unfolds, soulful chanting and Sufi melodies amplify the ceremony’s mystique. The experience fosters a deep sense of peace and contemplation, inviting onlookers into a space where the material and spiritual worlds meet.Enrich Your Cultural UnderstandingThe Sema ceremony is recognised by UNESCO as part of the world’s intangible cultural heritage. This ticket offers a rare chance to witness the living legacy of Rumi’s followers. Alongside the ceremony, some options include a Bosphorus cruise, audio guides in multiple languages and traditional Turkish refreshments to enhance your visit.What to ExpectEntry to the authentic Mevlevi Sema ritual in an atmospheric settingLive Sufi music and spiritual recitationsSkilful Dervishes performing graceful whirls in unisonAn introduction to the historical and spiritual context of the Mevlevi OrderOptional Bosphorus cruise and refreshments for an extended experienceBook your Istanbul: Whirling Dervishes Ceremony & Mevlevi Sema Show Tickets now!

Book the Istanbul self-guided audio tour and explore the city of spices, scents and scene-stealing landmarks with a digital guide on your phone. Starting at the Grand Bazaar, the tour takes you past the Byzantine and Ottoman highlights of the old city, including the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapı Palace, at your own pace and on your own schedule. Allow about three hours. What the Istanbul audio tour covers The route brings Istanbul's rich history to life, a story woven by many different civilisations. Stand in Sultanahmet Square surrounded by architectural brilliance, admire the fountain at Suleymaniye Square, and learn the background of the iconic Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapı Palace before you decide which to visit inside. The tour also helps you venture into districts such as Fatih, with its museums, mosques and bazaar, and Beyoğlu, an artistic powerhouse since the 1980s and 1990s.
