Whirling Dervishes Cappadocia
Watch an enchanting whirling dervish show in a Seljuk caravan in Cappadocia. Experience the Sema ceremony, a traditional Turkish spiritual ceremony, and witness beautiful chanting, instrument playing, and transe dancing on this cultural excursion.
Have the opportunity to experience an authentic whirling dervish ceremony. See an ancient Sufi ritual that represents the mystical journey of man's spiritual ascent through love. The whirling acts as a form of meditation. Begin your trip by being collected from your accommodation in Cappadocia. Head to the caravanserai, accommodation built in medieval Seljuk for merchants and their animals. Explore these ancient structures that are now the site of The Sema. Enjoy an inspiring 45 minutes during which your friendly and professional guide will talk you through the rituals. Taste sweet Sherbet, a traditional religious drink, after the ceremony.
Your guide picks you up from your hotel in Ürgüp or other towns of Cappadocia half an hour earlier, which will give you enough time to see the parts of the caravanserai prior to ceremony.
