The Sema ceremony of the Whirling Dervishes is one of Turkey's most distinctive spiritual traditions and is recognised by UNESCO. At a selected venue in central Istanbul you watch the dervishes perform to live traditional Sufi music, in a ritual inspired by the teachings of Mevlana Rumi.
The performance lasts about one hour. Your admission ticket and reserved seat are arranged in advance, and an English-speaking assistant is on hand. It is a calm and memorable way to learn about Turkey's spiritual heritage.
