Whirling Dervish Show Cappadocia

About this tour

About the tour
Heavenly dervishes follow the teachings of the poet and mystic Celaleddin Rumi, who lived in the 1300s. They are part of the Mevlevi order, a Sufi Muslim group. Many people perform the whirling dance, or Sema, as a way to get closer to God. There is little opportunity to see this spiritual practice up close, as in a whirling dervish show.

Who are Dervishes or Sufis?

They are followers of the famous 13th century poet Celaleddin Rumi (Mevlana). Not everyone can perform the whirling dervish ceremony; they must complete rigorous spiritual and physical training that takes them on a spiritual journey. A Sufi (Sema) is someone who prays, whirls, sings and prays in the ceremonies.

What to Expect?

Whirling dervishes perform a ritual full of history and meaning. As a symbol of the ego’s gravestone, the performers wear traditional white robes and tall felt hats. Whirling dervishes carefully plan their movements to show how the sky and earth are connected as they spin in a circle, one arm raised to the sky and the other down. A whirling dervish show in Cappadocia is a unique and unforgettable cultural experience that showcases Turkey’s spiritual traditions.
